Yes. That is correct! I have seen same behaviour, now that I see the
bug. I hadn't though this could be the issue previously, but I realized
at some point that if i disabled the transparent proxying options in
squid.conf and put proxy settings in my browser then squid worked fine.
The moment I reverted to transparent and it crashed. I got so confused
I did not even remember to look at cache.log ;)

Yes, I use the ports. I have applied your patch and it actually solved
the problem.

Short of using this patch, does it mean if I changed the perms on the
/dev/ipnat then it could have worked? Tricky, I think, since in FreeBSD
5.x most devices are created on the fly, yes?

Thank you very much for the fast response.

You know 'that look' women get when they want sex? Me neither.
There are a number of mechanical devices which increase sexual arousal,
particularly in women. Chief among these is the Mercedes-Benz 600SL convertible.
