[squid-users] Squid 5.6 and 5.9 keep crashing due to signal 6 with status 0

[Flashdown]

Thank you Alex for confirming this and all the hints given.

I have taken another path to fix this. I have configured the dns 
forwarders that squid is configured to use, to not give out any AAAA 
responses. After that I have enabled IPv6 on this box to completly avoid 
this bug. Thank you!
