[squid-users] aborting due to signal 6 (abort)

Hi,

I'm seeing squid continuously starting in my log files. The log
priority is at warning, so I'm assuming this is not a normal
occurrence. The server is actually handling http requests.

Thanks for any help -- Dan

I'm using
Squid Cache version 2.5.STABLE3 for i686-pc-linux-gnu
Red Hat
kernel 2.4.21

Can anyone tell me what might be causing this? The logs are showing a
child process exiting due to signal 6. man 7 signal shows that signal 6
is

SIGABRT 6 Core Abort signal from abort(3)
