[Fwd: Pool for Request structur]

Here is some more information on the problem. I watch the access.log file
and notice that every time request like the following come through that
the pool for request structure increases the same amount.

192.168.2.89 - - [23/Dec/1998:09:55:04 -0700] "GET
http://channels.real.com/getlatest.glh" ERR_PROXY_DENIED:NONE 967

These requests are coming from RealPlayer G2, it does these lookups
every minute. We have alot of clients with this program on it and that is
where the memory is going. The request for this object never seems to get
freed. RealPlayer G2 does not support proxy authentication. I am not sure
if this will happen in squid 2.1, as I do not have one running.
