I tested this quite a while now. If I set 'queue-size' to 64, there will
be occasional warnings:

With a value of '128' these warnings do not occur.

Running on Duo Box.

Corresponding 'squid.conf' line, latest 'squid 4.4', 32bit:

...
url_rewrite_children 2 startup=3D2 idle=3D2 queue-size=3D128
...
