H,
I've been running 3.1.16 on our prodn caches for a very long time.
I've since moved to rolling out some 3.2.0.x boxes but haven't
completely removed my 3.1.x caches just in case.
squid 3.1.16 has been running without a problem for a long long time,
in fact the only issies I've had are when the log directoy runs out of
space. A few days ago I upgraded the remaining 3.1.16 boxes to 3.1.18.
Today I've seen the following message:-

FATAL: xcalloc: Unable to allocate 4282908673 blocks of 1 bytes!

Squid Cache (Version 3.1.18): Terminated abnormally.

.. which is what I see fairly frequently on my 3.2.0.x caches. This
time, nothing has changed other than the S/W versio, all the configs
are the same.

Time for another Macmillan Cancer Support event. This time its the 12
