Using these collapsed forwarding segments might slow down a non-SMP Squid instance, but I do not know whether they are actually _used_. I suspect they are not. The latest (future v5) Squid has the same bug AFAICT. Unfortunately, in my future-v5 tests, the same or similar bug exists in Squids started with -N, so this bug is probably not a good suspect in your investigation. I have no other suspects to offer at this time.
