[squid-users] swap.state becoming enormously big.

Hi!

Got a strange problem. My squid (2.4.stable1) is running under
FreeBSD-4.3-STABLE.

cache_mem = 48 MB
maximum_object_size 4096 KB
cache_dir ufs /usr/local/squid/cache 500 16 256

(I also tried diskd with the same result).

The load is rather low; everything looks OK, but once a week or two the
swap_state starts rapidly grow, maybe about 1 MB per second. During this
squid itself occupies the proccessor resources up to the limit. Usually
it is

PID USERNAME PRI NICE SIZE RES STATE TIME WCPU CPU COMMAND
2274 nobody 2 0 52380K 51684K poll 2:12 0.10% 0.10% squid

After short time the box gets out of space and crashing.

Any ideas? How to track down this problem?

Regards,
