I handle this by trying to cut back the connect timeout down to a minimum
of 5 seconds, depending on how many addresses are available. If a server's
just busy, it'll return a connection refused almost immediately, though.

My patch completely ignores this little contingency. My mind isn't quite
that far around the Squid code just yet... ;-) This could be why it
doesn't stay up for weeks at a time like a normal 1.1.10 would. Although
until today, it had been up for about a week with fairly steady usage.
