Bug 242067

We now have:
squid-2.6.STABLE16-2.fc7
squid-2.6.STABLE17-1.fc8
squid-3.0.STABLE1-3.fc9

Is this bug still applicable to any of these releases?

I gave up using squid the last half year on this host. Due to your mail I
started squid again this morning and installed the debuginfo. The problem still
exist (version squid-2.6.STABLE17-1.fc8). The only difference to my fedora
systems at home (where squid-privoxy runs fine) is that this squid-privoxy chain
is not connected to the internet directly. It has to use additionally the proxy
of the company.

Using ddd/gdb to attach to the 90%-squid I always see the same backtrace. It
differs from the FC6 version a little bit but it is still in main() at main.c:1027
 
#0  0xffffe410 in __kernel_vsyscall ()
#1  0x4faf8453 in __waitpid_nocancel () from /lib/libpthread.so.0
#2  0x0809b825 in main (argc=2, argv=0xbfbd1294) at main.c:1027
#3  0x4f974390 in __libc_start_main () from /lib/libc.so.6
#4  0x0804e9b1 in _start ()

You can try to run squid as 'squid -N', this should workaround the issue. I
haven't tried this, it's just a good guess by looking at the code, so let me
know if it helped. Other workaround would be to try the squid from rawhide which
was largely rewritten, so I think it might work fine. Anyway, if you'd at least
try, let me know (BTW, if you do, watch out for configuration file, there have
been some really major changes there, so squid 3 doesn't work with default 2
configuration).

Also, could you please attach your squid.conf? You also mentioned that you also
use privoxy, can you try to run squid without it, if the behavior is the same?
And if no, please also attach configuration of privoxy. Thanks.

BTW, what version of fedora are you running on?
