Package: squid
Version: 2.4.6-2woody10
Severity: normal

After installing the 2.4.6-2woody10 security update for Squid on 
Debian Woody (DSA 809-2, fixing a regression in DSA 751), squid now 
regularly restarts itself, logging:

assertion failed: comm.c:636: "F->flags.open"

This is happening approximately once an hour, and appears to be
correlated with FTP requests through the proxy made by AV software
(which seem to be happening every hour, a few seconds after the hour).
The same behaviour didn't occur with 2.4.6-2woody8; I'm not sure if it
occured with 2.4.26-2woody9 as we weren't able to run that for very long
due to it failing on a (different) assertion every time it encountered
a URL with an IP address in it.

I haven't, yet, been able to find a reproducible example that definitely
triggers the behaviour, and eg, going to the FTP urls in question with
a web browser configured to ues the proxy for FTP doesn't seem to trigger 
the behaviour:

ftp://ftp.mcafee.com/pub/datfiles/english/
ftp://ftp.mcafee.com/pub/datfiles/english//extra

It's possible that it's not FTP requests causing the issue, and that
it's just coincidence that they're happening at the same time (in which
case squid may be restarting without logging the query causing the issue).

Are you aware of any changes in 2.4.6-2woody10 that might cause this
type of error?
