and how your traffic tickles them, SMP Squid without atomic locks might become very slow! We do not (and, IMO, should not) optimize performance for environments without lock-free atomics!

I see the following options for going forward:

* Comment out the assertion, void your warranty, and hope for the best.
* Audit relevant code to confirm that the assertion is safe to remove.
* Find a usable OS/environment that has lock-free 64-bit atomics.

I am not a developer, so it will take me some help to get the code and repercussions of it's modification understood.

In our use case, we do not use caching at all except a small in-memory cache of say 64MB.

Squid is used for access control with external acl helper and SSL Bump where SMP used to help with version 4.x.

Would it be catastrophic to comment out the assertion and then remove relevant code for such a use case where there is no disk cache available for probable corruption?
