memPool unaccounted

[Stephen R. van den Berg]

I recently started using squid again after a very long time.
It's good to see some familiar names.  Anyway, looking at the
memory footprint I notice something odd:

I started a squid 3.0.STABLE18 in a minimal config (using a Debian-testing
package) in a configuration with just an http_port, no disk cache, and
cache_mem configured to 4MB.  The proxy has not served any requests and
is otherwise idle.

Checking the memory usage I see:

Memory accounted for:
        Total accounted:         1850 KB   6%
        memPool accounted:       1850 KB   6%
        memPool unaccounted:    28433 KB  94%
        memPoolAlloc calls:      1447
        memPoolFree calls:        386

I seem to recall that back in the days (2000-2003-ish) the unaccounted
memPool numbers weren't *that* high.  Any idea what is using up all this
memory and/or if it can be reduced with some runtime-config options?
