The same holds for the Squid proxy cache version 1.2 (currently in beta,
see ftp://squid.nlanr.net/pub/squid-1.2.beta).

It has AIO implemented with pthreads and I've tried running it with
libc_r.a on 2.2.5 but that fails miserably :-(. A native AIO implementation
would be nice especially for the open()ing of files because that takes

connections just stop.

I'm interested too and would like to test Squid 1.2 on FreeBSD with
threads and/or AIO. Is there a special FreeBSD mailinglist for this kind
of stuff?
