Hello Jason, Amos, all, Possibly the issue can be related to Squid being compiled with Cygwin https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2012-03/msg00302.html, I'm not sure whether this issue with standard output has been fixed in the current Cygwin. One of the workarounds that could possibly work is to install Cygwin and build squid yourself as described here: http://docs.diladele.com/tutorials/build_squid_windows/index.html, this should start helpers from Cygwin terminal instead of cmd. Best regards, Rafael Akchurin Diladele B.V. http://www.quintolabs.com http://www.diladele.com -- Please take a look at Web Safety - our ICAP based web filter server for Squid proxy at http://www.diladele.com. -----Original Message----- From: squid-users [mailto:squid-users-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Amos Jeffries Sent: Saturday, April 23, 2016 5:42 AM To: squid-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: Need help with Squid on Windows On 23/04/2016 3:09 a.m., Jason Spegal wrote: > Hello all, > > I need help with an issue that is now beyond me.

You usually need to enable debugging in the helper itself to get that.

Maybe something left over from this previous aborted Squid instance and its helpers that kills the next one to start? > CPU Usage: 0.281 seconds = 0.078 user + 0.203 sys Maximum Resident > Size: 1371136 KB Page faults with physical i/o: 5488 > 2016/04/22 08:53:06 kid1| Set Current Directory to > /cygdrive/c/squid/var/cache/squid > 2016/04/22 08:53:06 kid1| Starting Squid Cache version 3.5.16 for > x86_64-unknown-cygwin... ... > 2016/04/22 08:53:06 kid1| helperOpenServers: Starting 10/100 'perl.exe' > processes ... > 2016/04/22 08:53:06 kid1| WARNING: redirector #Hlpr6 exited ... > 2016/04/22 08:53:06 kid1| Too few redirector processes are running > (need > 1/100) ... > FATAL: The redirector helpers are crashing too rapidly, need help! Note that it is only the 6th helper that dies. The first 5 seem to be okay at this point. Maybe something they share which has a limited connection count?
