It means "Adrian's figuring it out."

Maybe, although I'd like to figure out why the IO request is actually failing.
That can come after we've figured out why its crashing (ie, we can add in
a few lines to log specific details about the failed IO request.)

I'd stay away from the posix AIO code though; its reasonably naive and
was meant for development. I know how to make it more "optimal" and suited
to production use but it'd take time I don't have. :(

And no, I'm not the port maintainer for FreeBSD's squid port anymore.
Ran out of time. :)
