[squid-users] FATAL: Received Segment Violation...dying.

Hi squid users!!!

I have a HUGE problem and was hoping someone out there would have some
advise. I am involved in a large squid implementation for my company
(16,000 plus users). Today we tried to cut our users over today and as
traffic ramped up (around 600 clients on 1 proxy, 5200 requests per min) the
squid process died and I found FATAL: Received Segment Violation...dying in
the cache log. These machines hardware did not seem to have any problem
with the traffic but the squid process just could not take the load. The
details on the proxies.

2 of the following load balaning the traffic

Compaq DL-360 dual 1.3ghz
3 GB RAM
dual scsi 36 GB drives in a mirror RAID
15 GB partition for cache

squid 2.4 STABLE 7
smartfilter 3.1.1
SUSE 8.0
compiled with 2.95.3

At first reading the archieves I thought it was a gcc optimization issue but
I found a post the said ./configure auto disables gcc optimazation options
in squid 2.4 STABLE 7. That being said can anyone help me out and point me
in the right direction???? I thought about compiling with a new version of
gcc but since -O was already disabled I have no idea what that would even
do.

I am hoping someone has done this big a squid implementation. I am hoping
squid can handle it and that we can have another win for open source.
