Re: Squid-2.4 memory leaks

 Andrei,

 Are you sure you are using dlmalloc?
 You need to reconfigure, make clean and make to get it compiled in.
 I can only suggest using dlmalloc, and reduce idle mempool size further,
 until even completely disabling it. Also, on the way in sync reduce
 cache_mem size. When both are reduced to min possible, and there still
 is severe free fragmentation under dlmalloc, then we have a serious
 problem in squid...
