Re: [squid-users] Out of memory problem in huge cache

My Squid isn't build with 64-bit support.
My RedHat Linux support up to 4GB memory per process.
I tested it on a short test program which tries to allocate memory
until he fails
and only after 4GB allocation I fail to continue allocation.

thanks
