Re: squid randomly dying (FreeBSD 2.2.5)

#define quoting(Jordyn A. Buchanan)
// 3) unlimiting the spawning shell before running squid--occasionally when
// run from the bootup script we would get xmalloc errors, but they seem
// to be unrelated to the problem described above. Running the proccess
// from an unlimited shell seems to help a bit, but only adds a few hours
// to the time before squid craps out. This may be coincidence.

Take a look at login.conf(5) capabilities. The rc.local script runs at
daemon class. Try raising the memory limits on this class.

(Is this already in the FreeBSD/squid FAQ ?)
