[squid-users] TCP_SWAPFAIL/200

I recently (well a month or so ago) tried to upgrade squid after my old
version got overwritten
by an OS related upgrade.

now I am seeing TCP_SWAPFAIL/200 messages in my log -- that doesn't
sound good.

Why would I be getting such?

It appears the local disk-store isn't growing over time -- so I'm
assuming it it telling
me the on-disk store isn't working right?

I used a similar config to my previous one (below), so I'm not sure why
it would be
croaking now... Is there something "illegal" bout my config?
I also included my non-comment squid.conf lines following that just to be
thorough....
i'd really like to get squid back to being 100%
solid-bullet-proof...which it
isn't right now (have had truncated downloads on longer downloads)...

I'm also getting occasional core dumps in the base of the cache dir,
which is
usually a bad sign... ;-| Haven't had a chance to try to check the
stack trace yet,
but was wondering if anything looked amiss with my swap setup.

It's a 12core 48G machine, with a reasonably fast Raid so it should
have plenty of horse power for 1 user...but I find it can't keep up with
my browsing habits... which is insane considering it's usually used
for 10's-100's of users w/no prob...I know I am not that fast..

Any pointing out of "gotcha's" would be appreciated!...
