Possible memory leak in 2.3stable2?????

Hello,

I have Squid 2.3stable2 installed on a Mac OS X 1.2 Server (BSD 4.4). I
have the "cache_mem" in the squid.conf file set to 128mb (the server has
512mb installed). I have been having some crashing problems (runs fine
for a day or two), so I watched the squid process with top for the
better part of a day, and I saw the squid proccess go from using around
100mb to using over 300mb (well above where I have the "cache_mem" set;
I assume that if I let it keep going the machine will run out of memory,
thus causing a crash). I shutdown the squid proccess and wait 2 to 3
minutes, then, after top says the memory has cleared, I restart squid.
Then it's memory usage is acceptable again, but as the day goes on, it
climbs well beyond what I have "cache_mem" set at again.

Does anyone have any suggestions/solutions?

Thanks,

Byron
