CentOS - Jan 2006 - 2.5.STABLE6-3.4E.11 Problem

Has anyone had a problem with this version of Squid, we are using 
Centos4, and this is the latest package of squid. The problem occurs 
when a host attempts to make a SSL connection that involves a reverse 
DNS lookup, it will cause squid to crash. I ran squid with the "-d 10"
option to find out what happens, and this is the error i get.

How you reproduce this error is, find a SSL enabled website, get the IP 
address and type into your browser, https://<ipaddress>/ and this will 
produce the error

(squid): rfc1035.c:417: rfc1035RRUnpack: Assertion `(*off) <= sz' failed.

Squid will then proceed to restart itself.

Has anyone else found this problem?

Yap, it's been there for a LONG time, and there is bug in RH bugzilla.
I've been running a pre update 2 squid for this reason alone for like 6-12 
months now (squid-2.5.STABLE6-3.4E.5.i386 works).  I'm not sure if it was 
finally fixed, I think they found the bug and there are some experimental 
packages that have it fixed, but I haven't had the time to check...

Cheers,
MaZe.

Then you're lucky - mine just crashes and dies (after enough restarts)~...
