It appears to be fairly consistent; however, it only occurs with two
MSN.COM sites: The one shown above (STB.MSN.COM) and a second site
HP.MSN.COM.

It occurs on both of my Squid servers. Both were upgraded from
Squid-2.5.STABLE6 to Squid-2.6.STABLE2 yesterday; however, one was
started with a new cache directories while the second was started
with the existing cache directories.

The "Not our vary marker object" log entry occurs more frequently in
the second server. I think this may be more a function of Window's
default enableWebProxyCache setting than an issue with Squid.
