The pools were large than I wanted - but nothing really obvious.

No. I testing a machine with a squid that was huppied fairly often and doing
this almost certainly does leak memory - so I don't do that anymore.

Yeah, I'll try to dig up more details. I stupidly restarted the process
without dumping the memory pool details, etc.

I'm was hoping for a 'oh thats a know bug in blah' response, 'go and get
version blem' type of thing.

Something I did notice... getting a list of all squid-objects (when you have
2.5GB or so of them) makes the process eat 100% cpu and gobble lots of
memory. This isn't totally unreasonable though.....
