Excellent.

I'll just add that the code did work exactly as it was supposed to, in
my testing at the time, but there remained at least one serious memory
leak (possibly others) that led to it being unusable. I believe all
crashes that I experienced running the code were attributable to this
leak. Whether there are other issues that never had a chance to exhibit
themselves is unknown to me.

Ganzalo was running it, I believe, in production, so he may actually
have fixes for the issues that I saw. I haven't been in contact with
him for some time, however, so I don't know the state of things in his
neck of the woods.

As you may know, I'm out of the Squid business for the foreseeable, so I
won't be doing anything else with the code. But I do hope it sees some
real world use.
