RE: [SQU] Why a core dump in cache disk?

In secure setups squid will often not have access to write to the
location of the binaries. Thus the default location to write coredumps
is the root of the 1st swap dir. It's by design, and there is a config
entry to change the location. It has no bearing on why squid crashed.
Run gdb <path to squid binary> <path to core file> and type bt to get a
backtrace and thus some insight on why it crashed.
