[squid-users] Help - Squid 3.2.0.4 - IPV6 - Crashes

Hi all,

I wonder if anyone can help. I am using Squid 3.2.0.4 compiled with
-disable-ipv6. Whenever I access hosts that have AAAA records as well as A
records then an attempt is made to access them using IPv6. My network
doesn't have IPv6 so it is no surprise the attempts to connect to IPv6
destinations do not work. Given that I have compiled with -disable-ipv6
option I would not expect Squid to even bother looking up the AAAA records.
Squid also crashes and automatically restarts after the connect to an IPv6
address fails.

I have included a relevant log extract below showing the problem as well as
output from squid -v.

Is there any way to force Squid to fully ignore ipV6?

Any assistance or pointers would be gratefully received.

Thanks
Steve
