Solaris-10 squid-3 dying on particular FTP sites

on a Solaris 10 machine using Squid 3.1.16, every now and then, when connecting to particular FTP sites, it will make squid die


seems that the problem is something to do with the data channel and the FTP session trying to do something fancy called EPSV ...

i've no idea what that is, but the fix to stop squid dying because of these problem FTP servers is to set "ftp_epsv off" in the squid.conf

exc01-sp-p:/web/server/squid/etc # rcsdiff -r1.15 squid.conf

> ftp_epsv off

ps. i am not sure if the remote FTP servers are very old, or very new



ON ANOTHER NOTE

be sure to disable --enable-eui as well
