SMP G4 & squid (libpthread)

[Gordon Grant <gordong@babcockbrown.com>]

Hi,

I'm having problems running a squid-cache on a G4 using the version of
squid in potato: 2.2.5-3.

I'm using kernel 2.2.18-pre18 from linux-pmac-stable. squid runs fine
with one cache, but as soon as I try to get two caches communicating,
the child cache falls over without anything of note in logfiles.

Squid uses libpthread heavily, and I wonder if there's any issue with
PPC SMP suport and kernel threads?

Would I be better trying squid 2.3 (from unstable)?

Any info/help much appreciated,
