Re: [squid-users] xmalloc and out of memory errors in messages log

How large is your Squid process after it has rebuilt the cache index?

How large is the process shortly before it dies?

total in use from mallinfo should be nearly 100% normally.. if it is much
less then the malloc library is not working well for Squid as it then is
keeping a lot more memory allocated from the OS than Squid is using.

Henrik
