Yap, it's been there for a LONG time, and there is bug in RH bugzilla. I've been running a pre update 2 squid for this reason alone for like 6-12 months now (squid-2.5.STABLE6-3.4E.5.i386 works). I'm not sure if it was finally fixed, I think they found the bug and there are some experimental packages that have it fixed, but I haven't had the time to check...
Cheers, MaZe.
Has anyone had a problem with this version of Squid, we are using Centos4, and this is the latest package of squid. The problem occurs when a host attempts to make a SSL connection that involves a reverse DNS lookup, it will cause squid to crash. I ran squid with the "-d 10" option to find out what happens, and this is the error i get.
How you reproduce this error is, find a SSL enabled website, get the IP address and type into your browser, https://<ipaddress>/ and this will produce the error
(squid): rfc1035.c:417: rfc1035RRUnpack: Assertion `(*off) <= sz' failed.
Squid will then proceed to restart itself.
Then you're lucky - mine just crashes and dies (after enough restarts)~...
