Here's memory usage after 1.5 days runtime. This is from an old post of
mine.

Memory usage for squid via mallinfo():
        Total space in arena: 226629 KB
        Ordinary blocks: 217882 KB 353099 blks
        Small blocks: 0 KB 0 blks
        Holding blocks: 1392 KB 4 blks
        Free Small blocks: 0 KB
        Free Ordinary blocks: 8746 KB
        Total in use: 219274 KB 97%
        Total free: 8746 KB 4%
Memory accounted for:
        Total accounted: 96695 KB

Last weekend, 2 patches came out that were supposed to fix 2 leaks. I
applied them, but they don't seem to have helped. I had to restart squid
last night. Here's the stats so far after just 49969 seconds (2.2.S3 +
the two patches from last weekend):

Memory usage for squid via mallinfo():
        Total space in arena: 127881 KB

So...it knows it's allocating memory, but doesn't seem to know what it did
with it.

I was actually considering applying your patches that you posted about a
few days ago to see if that made a difference.
