The RH 7.2 s/390 kernel has userspace crashes log enabled.  I hope I
won't see many more of these messages ;).

So let me make sure I understand... if squid needs to bind to
priveledged ports (like 80) it needs to be started by root, and soon
after grabbing the ports will setuid to cache_effective_user specified
in squid.conf.  In this configuration, because squid was started as root
and runs as squid, no cores can be generated due to kernel security?  If
so, that's unfortunate, the reason we bind to port 80 is because this is
meant to replace an NT proxy server that was configured for 80 (avoid
touching clients).

Do you know of any tricks to allow squid to listen on an interface's
port 80 yet still generate cores?  Or what configure or make argument
will have squid built with debug symbols?  The only debug configure
thing I saw was for malloc.

Thanks for any help,
