[squid-users] 3.0 dropping IM clients

When I ran 2.5STABLEx, I never have an issue with AIM/YAHOO/MSN clients
disconnecting...

However, under 3.0 they get dropped quite frequently.while the connection
is immediately re-established, I am wondering what is causing this?

It seems exactly 15mins!

Squid Cache: Version 3.0-PRE3-20031230

'--enable-aio' '--enable-err-languages=English' '--with-pthreads'

my squid.conf file is quite small:
