Hi Kris,
Thanks.  I don't feel alone anymore. As I've heard many times "misery 
loves company". I can now confirm it, yet again.;)  In this case, I 
have been using and depending on squid since the late 90's and have had 
some issues as with everything else but all in all it has helped me a 
lot more that hindered.  I would not want to live without it.  Habits 
are hard to break ;)

If I can just make a little extra time today I'm going to recompile 
squid, get a backtrace and go from there with some great folks who have 
offered to help and share our findings with all.

a very good day to all,
