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

Hi,

that's still some kind of attempt to access a null pointer. you might
try building it with either gcc 2.96 or 3.0.1 I would also definently move
to 2.5 at this point.

I'm running 2.5 pre 11 on a similar setup... One thing ZI would note from
a performance standpoint is that if by mirror you mean raid-1 you would
be better server by unstriping the drives and putting a 15 GB partition on
each one...
