As some of you may have know the support in Squid for handling multi-gigabyte files has long been non-existing at the best, both not at all being able to handle files above 1.9 GB, bad interactions with the cache (both on-disk and memory) in how largeish objects is processed and the inability to write large log files on 32-bit platforms.
Unless someone objects I plan to incorporate these changes into Squid-2.5 shortly (14 days or so).
Now committed to 2.5 as there was no objections, and I consider this a major flaw of Squid.
Most devel branches should be relatively safe from these changes even if this touched quite many files, and where cvsmerge does not figure it out automatically for you it shouldn't be too hard to resolve manually as most changes are relatively trivial in nature.
You may want to audit your own developments for the same class of problems as adressed by this patch.
