xmalloc: Unable to allocate 4536 bytes!

Hi!

I keep getting messages like this:

Apr 8 10:15:58 cache2 squid[8172]: xmalloc: Unable to allocate 4536 bytes!
Apr 8 10:17:05 cache2 /kernel: pid 8172 (squid), uid 65534: exited on signal 6

Apr 8 10:21:07 cache2 squid[8361]: Ready to serve requests.

and it makes squid practically unusable. Does anybody know what can cause
it?

squid runs on P200 64M RAM, 6GB HDD from which 5GB for cache and OS
is FreeBSD 2.2.5

I understand if it runs out of RAM but as far as I understand it should
use then swap, which I have 300M configured and I've never seen it's been
more used than 10-15%

thanks in advance,

mart
