[squid-users] Forward loop detected: what does this mean?

Hello everybody.

I ran out of space on my squid log directory because cache.log grew very
fast filled by "forward loop detected" messages.

I'm using my squid as a transparent proxy.

What does that forward loop mean and how could it happen? I've noticed
that the originating IP was from a PC I had in my LAN which was infected
with some sort of mal-/spy-ware...

Any informations will be appreciated, thanks!
