[squid-users] core dumping with -f command line arg on squid exe

Hi,

Just compiled Squid 2.4STABLE3 on RedHat Linux 7.1. RedHat installation
is "out of the box", with updated kernel of 2.4.9-21smp. Machine is Dell
PowerEdge 2550 with 2 Pentium III 1 Ghz processors and 512 Mb RAM.

Configuration options for squid are:

./configure --prefix=/opt/squid \
--enable-cache-digests \
--enable-icmp \
--enable-htcp \
--enable-wccp \
--enable-carp \
--enable-unlinkd \
--enable-xmalloc-statistics \
--enable-useragent-log \
--enable-kill-parent-hack \
--enable-gnuregex \
--enable-referer-log \
--enable-time-hack \
--enable-storeio=diskd,ufs \
--enable-cachemgr-hostname \
--enable-xmalloc-debug \
--enable-xmalloc-debug-trace

After configure, did usual "make", "make install" and "make install-pinger".
Set up cache dirs with ./squid -z, run from bin dir.

Next, tried to run up squid from bin dir with:

./squid -f /opt/squid/etc/squid.conf

Program dumped core.

Copied squid.conf to /tmp/squid.conf

Again, tried to run up squid from bin dir with:

./squid -f /tmp/squid.conf

Program dumped core again.

gdb output on core shows:

Anyone any ideas as to what might be happening?
