I'm not sure if its the same thing.  In that bug, Alex said it looked 
like Squid wasn't maintaining counters for the leaked memory, whereas in 
my case the "Total" row in mgr:mem reasonably closely tracks the memory 
usage reported by top, so it looks like it should be accounted for.

There are similarities though - lots of memory going to HttpHeaderEntry 
and Short Strings in both cases.
