Here I go :-(

Very wierd thing.  I am running Red Hat Linux on a i586/133Mhz and I
have Squid running there for a huge network (about 5,000 hosts behind
the firewall) and we haven't rebooted the Squid machine since it went
into operation in late november.

I wonder what kind of Linux were you using on that machine, a five
year old kernel?

Miguel.
