It's not an error/bug. It's simply a kernel resource problem. You
configure a maximum number of mbufs and squid being a heavy network user,
uses them all up. Since the mbufs are "alloacted from a fixed pool" (my
terminology) when the pool is exhausted, your application fails. You need
to increase the size of the pool.
