It means that squid is going to ignore the address 192.168.100.164 in order to 
ensure that searching the splay tree remains a predictable process.

Show us, at the very least, the definition of this ACL, plus any other lines 
which refer to any addresses starting with 192.168.100

Even better, show us your squid.conf, after removing blank lines and comments, 
and possibly obscuring any private details.

The wording of the above warning makes me wonder whether you have defined a 
network range using an address from inside that range rather than the base 
network address (eg: 192.168.100.164/24 instead of 192.168.100.0/24)?
