[SQU] Squid.alloc

Hi all
I have installed squid-2.3-200102150000 couple of days ago.
I got the following problem, on the tmp directory a file called squid.alloc
is generated when squid starts and keep on increasing.
I want to know what is the function of this file and is it possible to
benefit from it.
Secondly I wana know if I can put it on other directory or disable it?
Any help would be very much appreciated
Regards,
Kareem Mahgoub
