[squid-users] squid 2.4STABLE7 AUTH children problems

Hi All,

as you may see, I have problems with msnt_auth program and 20 auth programs
configured. After some uptime of squid I get the following error. After no
auth children is available, squid terminates and starts a new instance of
squid, _BUT_ those authentication processes are available, those message is
wrong!! In that case I have a new squid process as parent and 20
authentication programs as children, BUT also those other 20 children from
the previous run, but without squid as a parent.

Therefore, squid is unusable until I manually kill all the left out msnt_auth
processes and also killing squid and then start a complete new instance of
squid+authchildren without the old one.

Any hints? Any solves? This is Kernel 2.2.19 and also 2.2.21!
