This is a Squid bug. Please consider creating a Bugzilla entry and
posting the corresponding backtrace there:
https://wiki.squid-cache.org/SquidFaq/BugReporting#crashes_and_core_dumps


> ERROR: Collapsed forwarding queue overflow for kid1 at 1024 items

This can be an expected side effect of a kid restart or a bug. If these
errors go away shortly after the kid, then they are expected -- other
kids are trying to communicate with a dead/restarting kid and complain
when they cannot. Squid handling of kid restarts is very primitive.
Quality improvements are welcome.

The message text is misleading because it is outdated. That queue was
originally used exclusively for collapsed forwarding needs, but it is
now used for other essential purposes as well -- cachable traffic should
be using the transients queue now.

If the overflow is related to kid crashes, then raising the limit like
that may not help on a busy proxy -- the queue will just overflow a few
seconds later. The solution is to fix those crashes.

If the overflow occurs without crashes, then there may be a bug
somewhere or your Squids are blocking/stalling for some reason.

Rock caches are not the only users of the transients queue. Memory cache
uses it as well.
