Topic: Squid quits with Signal 6

[Carl Milloshewski]

I have a server that acts as a gateway with 76 users connected.  Here for the past couple of days Squid quits with signal 6.  I restart it and it operates for about 10 hours and then quits again.

I've temporarily disabled the squid proxy, however I'd like to know what's going on.

Here is a look a the message log that tells me what's going on.
