Did you also see what is said last in that FAQ entry? (the
--enable-stacktraces or catchsegv alternatives)

You should get a stack trace to verify that your problem is the same
before assuming it is.

For this, the --enable-stacktraces option is more than sufficient. If
the two calls leading up to xassert (below it in the listing) is the
same functions then the problem is with 99.9% the exact same problem.
Furthermore, there is no penalty of --enable-stacktraces until Squid
crashes.

If they are different, the problem may still quite likely be the same,
and we have some additional data helping us to pinpoint where the
problem is.
