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.

Then you're lucky - mine just crashes and dies (after enough restarts)~...
