// Yup, I found that. The MAXMEM sets only how much memory

Also strange that it started to happen in our server just after an
upgrade to last week's 2.2-RELENG. My kernel config never had any
of these options and squid has always worked well.

I'm currently limiting RSS and datasize in 80M, but I've never seen
squid using more than 50M in this server.

My startup script includes these lines, to ensure resource limiting:

ulimit -Sc unlimited
ulimit -Sn unlimited
ulimit -Sm 81920
ulimit -Sd 81920

And my hardware limits are:

core file size (blocks) 0
data seg size (kbytes) 131072
file size (blocks) unlimited
max locked memory (kbytes) unlimited
max memory size (kbytes) unlimited
open files 5120
pipe size (512 bytes) 1
stack size (kbytes) 65536
cpu time (seconds) unlimited
max user processes 1043
virtual memory (kbytes) 196608

I don't need, nor want to, change any parameters in the kernel config.
sysctl(1) and setrlimit(2) can do all we need. This seems to be a
problem with the 2.2-RELENG from last weeks.
