[squid-users] Seeing a lot of RELEASE entries store.log for cache that really shouldn't be releasing much at all.

We have our cache setup in the following manner:

cache_dir ufs /cache_dir 100000 16 256
refresh_pattern . 10512000 100% 10512000

While testing everything looked good but after putting a bit of load on
the cache we're seeing a lot of RELEASE entries in the log (non FFFFFFFF
entries) and I don't understand why this would be the case, since our
refresh pattern basically says to keep entries in as long as possible.
The cache isn't being hit with any special expiry or no-cache headers,
just the User-Agent, Connection, Keep-Alive and Host headers. Here are
some examples of the RELEASE messages from our store.log.

If the content is hit with a different User-Agent will this cause the
cache to release the object as the result from the origin server will
differ in size / content with a different User-Agent?
