[squid-users] Squid Fails on Reconfigure

[Rick Chisholm]

I'm having a recurring issue with squid 2.7STABLE5 on FreeBSD 6.3 - part 
of the problem is that I cannot pinpoint the cause.  Often (though not 
always) when squid -k reconfigure is run squid goes a bit haywire and 
maxes out one core and becomes unresponsive to connections.

SquidGuard log is clean
cache.log last entry is helperOpenServers: Starting 5 'ncsa_auth' processes
it hangs there until a kill command is executed - does not respond to 
squid -k shutdown at this point.
