In my first steps in tracking this down this problem, I found that squid stops responding after receiving a request with a huge cookie (some data modified to try preserve privacy, but the length of the data remains correct) extracted as text using Wireshark. Is this sufficient to determine what could be happening, or will it be necessary to get a debugging log?

Is this similar to bug 3467?
http://bugs.squid-cache.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3467

You should see warnings in the cache.log if this is the same kind of
problem.

If it is the same, please see Comment 21 and voice your preferences on
what to do next.

Thank you,

Alex.
