Sorry but not for me....

I've just tested squid 2.2.STABLE4 on our test AIX v4.3.2 system without
having any problems.. I've compiled Squid using ibm-cc without the dlmalloc
code (got a couple of compile-time errors)..

Even after loading the full cache (on this test system only 100-MByte!!) it
did not crash..
Of couse the problem might be the malloc of IBM.. If I remember well, our
old system (an R50 running AIX v4.2 with 512-MByte RAM and 24-GByte disks)
crashed often (a couple of times a day) with an malloc error...
