Hello!

Sorry to post this again, but I am not sure where to progress further
with this. Details below:

I yanked 2.6STABLE9 from ferdora and ran it up on my box. I am seeing
the same behaviour as with 2.5. All the ntlm_auth processes are all
going into a reserved state (R Flag in the squidclient
cache_object://127.0.0.1/ntlmauthenticator listing). Squid then dies with a

FATAL: Too many queued ntlmauthenticator requests (251 on 50)
Squid Cache (Version 2.6.STABLE9): Terminated abnormally.

 From what I can tell the patch below was applied in 2.6STABLE2 - is
this the case or do I need to install the patch myself?

I have a number of squid boxes using this setup at a number of sites - I
have only found two sites that are behaving in this way. Is there a
known ntlm client that triggers this? MSN messenger? Older versions of IE?

If I am seeing a subtly different bug, what kinds of info would you need
from me to help track it down?

Thanks!
