[squid-users] FATAL: xcalloc: Unable to allocate 1 blocks of 4112 bytes!

Hello,

I am doing some performance testing on FC5 with squid 2.6-S2

I am getting the following error when I use cache_mem 4 GB

FATAL: xcalloc: Unable to allocate 1 blocks of 4112 bytes!
Squid Cache (Version 2.6.STABLE2): Terminated abnormally.

And it restarts after that, thereby completely killing the test.

I have 16GB of memory.

Is there a better way to ask squid to use as much memory as possible,
since I have ample of it.

Thanks
