Here is one: Squid is currently not designed to gracefully handle a helper-initiated exit/death. Helpers that decide to exit may kill in-progress transactions, and/or may slow down or even kill Squid, depending, in part, on your Squid version and/or configuration. AFAICT, there are a few better options for going forward, including: 1. Fixing helper memory leak (just stating the obvious for completeness sake). 2. Wrapping leaking/exiting helper process into a non-leaking/non-exiting helper that is going to kill/restart the wrapped helper after N requests (transparently to Squid). 3. Hacking Squid to kill/restart a helper process after N requests. 4. Enhancing Squid and helper protocol to handle helper-initiated exits.
