[squid-users] Logging problem

I am running squid-2.4.STABLE6 that serves approximately 400 users. The
server has been running stably for almost 2 years with no problems until
I recently changed the cache_access_log entry in squid.conf to log into
a block special files which I created using the command mknod
/var/log/squid/squidacct.log p

Now when the server is in high usage it crash with the following errors:

May 6 11:50:49 proxy (squid): logfileWrite:
/var/log/squid/squidlogs.log: (11) Resource temporarily unavailable
May 6 11:50:50 proxy squid[894]: Squid Parent: child process 1027

exited due to signal 6
May 6 11:51:08 proxy squid[894]: Exiting due to repeated, frequent
failures

 The reason for making this logging change is to be able to redirect the
squid logs to a perl script that we wrote for the purpose of analysing
the data and log part of it in a MySQL database.

Thanks,

Ramzi
