squid

I am using "squid-3.1.8-1.el5" in my CentOS 5 32 bit system. In normal condition Squid uses 85m - 90m, but when I enable the delay pool parameters the memory usage suddenly rise up 2GB. The memory keeps on increasing until the system is out of resource.

The following are my delay pool settings:

delay_pools 1

delay_class 1 1

delay_access 1 allow all

delay_parameters 1 192000/192000

Is there anything I am missing here or is it a bug with Squid ?
