Sameer, Kinkie,

There is one thing to beware of. I have recently encountered Squid
segfaults with the Youtube loop detection patch on latest Squid
2.7.STABLE8/9.
Previous versions of Squid worked reliably with this loop detection patch.

The problem has already been recorded on the Lusca bug tracker. See:
 * http://code.google.com/p/lusca-cache/issues/detail?id=86

You will also find an updated loop detection patch contributed by
chudy.fernandez - I haven't yet tested it but will report back when I
do.

It's also worth noting that the alternative "minimum_object_size 512
bytes" workaround no longer seems to work. I have only done a brief
investigation, but it seems that many Youtube redirect responses are
now larger than 512 bytes.
