Hello Squid Users, I've been successfully running squid2.5 stable3 on RH9 for about 9 months. However, last week i patched to stable5 and rebuilt squid. At first everything seemed to be working fine but then i noticed a lot of activity in the cache.log file. Squid is stoping and starting every hour or two. Here are the relevent entries in cache.log :

Why would squid squid not be able to delete some older enteries from the cache ?. Thanks for any help.
