Why you should bump up ipcache_size when RETRY_PATCH used (fwd)

I added the IP cache size to my MTRG graphing of Squid parameters
yesterday at <http://proxy.comshare.com/monitor/squid/ipcache.html>,
and as you can see, even with my comparatively low-volume Squid, we
still get right up over the default 1024 size without much trouble.
Our current size is set to 2048.

And yes, there's a crash in there... Squid grows steadily for a week
until it runs into the 128MB datasize limit. I wish xmalloc() was a
little more forgiving...

Just FYI...
