[squid-users] squid 3.1.

Hi,

I have a squid installation that crashes twice a day under the load of
7 Mbps bandwidth with the following message in squid.out with no
specific traces in cache.log

Startup: Fri Jun 10 15:46:20
dying from an unhandled exception: !theConsumer
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'TextException'
  what(): !theConsumer
Startup: Fri Jun 10 19:55:29

It is compiled using following options:
 sbin]# ./squid -v
Squid Cache: Version 3.1.12.1
configure options: '--enable-linux-netfilter'
'--enable-storeio=ufs,aufs' '--enable-poll'
'--enable-x-accelerator-vary' '--enable-follow-x-forwarded-for'
'--enable-ssl' '--enable-snmp' '--enable-removal-policies'
'--enable-gnuregex' '--with-large-files' '--enable-async-io'
'CFLAGS=-DNUMTHREADS=300' --with-squid=/root/squid-3.1.12.1
--enable-ltdl-convenience

the platform is as follows:

CPU :4 cores of Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5504 @ 2.00GHz
RAM : 8GB
OS: CentOS 5.6 :
Kernel: Linux version 2.6.25 compiled with tproxy option.
