[squid-users] Workers reconfigure-question on 3.2.5

Hi

I'm using 3.2.5 with four workers (workers 4). Each worker has its own
cache_dir:
workers 4
cache_dir aufs /squid-cache0${process_number} 100000 64 512
cache_dir aufs /squid-cache0${process_number} 100000 64 512
cache_dir aufs /squid-cache0${process_number} 100000 64 512
cache_dir aufs /squid-cache0${process_number} 100000 64 512

When I now reconfigure squid with "squid -f /etc/squid/squid.conf -k
reconfigure" or "squidclient mgr:reconfigure", then I got the
following error in the cache.log:
2013/01/07 14:34:54 kid5| /squid-cache05/swap.state: (2) No such file
or directory

After this reconfigure, squidclient is no more usable (it always
throws an 404). After this reconfigure, the main process for the
3128er-listener is then not the process "squid-coord-5" ->it's one of
the kid-process.

 $ netstat -pantue | grep 3128
tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:3128 0.0.0.0:*
LISTEN 0 1441481 20003/(squid-coord-5)

$ squidclient mgr:reconfigure

$ netstat -pantue | grep 3128
tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:3128 0.0.0.0:*
LISTEN 0 1448779 20004/(squid-4)

$ squidclient mgr:info

Why does squid spawns a kid5-process (after the reconfigure) with a
fifth cache_dir although there are just four configured? How can I
reconfigure squid properly with workers running?

Many thanks.
Kind regards,
Tom
