Hi List,

 From time to time my users experience constant unsatisfiable prompts from 
squid. Cache.log reports:

2011/01/07 12:04:53| authenticateNegotiateHandleReply: Error validating user 
via Negotiate. Error returned 'BH gss_acquire_cred() failed: Unspecified GSS 
failure.  Minor code may provide more information. Cannot allocate memory'

Quickest fix is to 'service squid restart' but I'd like to get to the bottom of 
it as how/why this occurs. Squidkerbauth helper can't allocate memory, freezes 
and refuses to process requests. Has anyone else come across this sort of thing 
before? Memory leak..? Any suggestions for further debugging welcome.

RHEL5.3 x86, Squid 3.20STABLE, squidkerbauth 1.0.7 (IIRC)

What does "squid -v" report as the version? we don't have a 3.20 release yet.

And yes it looks like a memory leak in the helper.
