Hi Mr. Miller,

What do you mean "from elsewhere"? You mean elsewhere on the network code?

Since the function that had the problem was tcp_recvmsg and we're
talking about a squid process, we're either talking about a typical
webserver-objet response, or about about an incorrect/faulty http
request from the user.

Like I told Mr. Dumazet, since on the squid logs I got a:

2010/07/08 14:51:10| clientTryParseRequest: FD 6088
(187.16.240.122:2035) Invalid Request

Only a second before the bug entry on syslog, I suppose that this
invalid request caused the problem (more like a guess, really).

If you think there's a way I can help reproduce/trigger and fix this
bug, please let me know, since the production machine is down until I
can ensure my bosses that this particular crash won't happen again.

Thanks,

Felipe Damasio
