Hi guys. I'm using squid 3.1.4 and since of first 3.1 stable release
I'm suffering from memory leak problems too. My production server is a
CentOS 5.4 32 bits (kernel 2.6.18-164.6.1.el5). It has 2GB of RAM
(512MB reserved to squid cache_mem) and 6GB of disk space reserved to
squid's disk cache. In approximately 24h, squid consumes all the
available memory of my server and swap starts to be consumed. I'm
currently restarting squid once a day in order to workaround the
problem. Follow attached a squidclient output made some hours before
all the server memory be consumed.
