Using Essjay's monobook, modified (see User:-Slash-/monobook.js (or) css), FireFox, Windows XP, running an Apache webserver 2.2. == Recent occurrences == I recently installed AWB, and the problems started happening for me about 3 days ago, approximately the time I installed it. The only other thing I did at that time was attempt to install Ubuntu, and fail twice (it froze). One of the two times, it was right before where it should have partitioned my hard drive. It has been defragmented around that time, too, and I installed "Lyle in Cube Sector", a buggy freeware game. It has been occurring pretty rarely (4 times so far) and I've been editing quite a lot. It also happened in AWB and IE, which pretty much rules out FF as the problem. If it pops up again, I'll give the error message again. Perhaps it might be a server problem (corrupted squid?).
Intermittent squid errors are not unheard of. One common source should now be prevented, though, with better handling of overlarge log files which used to break the 32-bit servers intermittently. I'm going to go ahead and mark this FIXED, in the hopes that the 'above-average' breakages are mostly dealt with by that.
