No significant problems known with Squid-2.6.

There is some cosmetic issues like the mallinfo memory usage in the
general runtime information page gets all screwed up if the process size
grows beyond 2GB but thats a libc issue and not much Squid can do
about.. and also not really unique to 64-bit..

Also the memory usage over all is slightly larger in 64-bit than 32-bit
due to the larger pointer size and larger structure padding, but if you
need to run a big Squid this is quickly outweighted by the fact that
there is no limit in process size.
