- I have been using multiple 2.5 stable releases from latest nightly
snapshots for few months. I got newest versions and compiled 4-5 times.
All with the same result.

- Well, it is consuming a lot of cpu, and doesnt respond(crash?) at the
same time. It doesnt answer to its port, it doesnt respond to the -k
shutdown or kill -TERM [pid] commands.

- I have checked the cache log every time this happened. It just has
something else as the last entry. Usually its something about illegal
domain names, some people always enter some domain names which are totally
wrong. I doubt the problem is something about that. I also check the
operating system's logs like messages file etc. There is absolutely
nothing. I check the memory status and shared memory status. I didnt see
anything weird.

- I have tried rebuilding the OS and the squid. I think FreeBSD was about
version 5.1 when I started using the 5.x versions and now its almost 5.3
version. Everytime I recompiled the operating system from sources. I also
downloaded the latest snapshot of squid and compiled it too. Here are my
configure arguments

--enable-err-language=Turkish --enable-removal-policies=heap
--disable-hostname-checks --enable-storeio=diskd --enable-icmp
