Hi, does anyone know what would cause squid 3.3.12 to run out of filedescriptors on MacOS X? My squid often runs out of file descriptors shortly (e.g., 5 minutes) after startup when my laptop is at home. Traffic is minimal. If this happens and I do a squid -k reconfigure, squid dies with a “FATAL: dying from an unhandled exception: IsConnOpen(conn)” but then continues to restart itself. After this restart squid would run normally (no more file descriptor problems) until I shut down the machine. This seems to be a MacOSX-specific problem. I have never seen this happen on my other squid, which runs on Linux. My other observation would be that when I am not at home this does not seem to happen. So one possible cause might be that a netdb exchange failure (endianness mismatch) would cause squid to run out of file descriptors. Does anyone know if this might be possible, or recognize what would cause squid to run out of file descriptors shortly after startup? Thanks very much. -- cheers, -ambrose <http://gniw.ca>
