[squid-users] squid continued even though it couldn't log?

Hi all,
I'm a bit puzzled by some logs at the moment:

Last night we had a situation that caused one of our proxies to fill
up it's logging disk, squid went down (as expected), but in syslog it
looks like the squid parent is stil going and trying to create new
children to handle requests:
Jan 24 05:13:30 proxy (squid): logfileWrite:
/var/log/squid3/access.log: (28) No space left on device
Jan 24 05:13:31 proxy squid[26964]: Squid Parent: child process 1962
exited with status 1
Jan 24 05:13:34 proxy squid[26964]: Squid Parent: child process 2016 started

I always thought that squid goes down completely when it can't log but
this seems to suggest otherwise....

System:
Ubuntu 11.04 server x86-64 on vmware
squid 3.1.11

The problem itself is solved I am just curious about it going down or not....

Thanks,
Eli
