Hello All,
I got core dumped when I tried with invalid cache_effective_user Or cache_effective_group. Here is the details:
You get a coredump because your Squid encountered a fatal error which made it impossible for it to continue it's execution.
The reason why you get a coredump is by choice of the Squid developers to always "coredump" on fatal errors, not only segmentation faults. This makes analysis of the error condition easier.
In this specific case the core dump is redundant as the fatal error source is obvious, but not all fatal errors is this obvious.
