I should mention that while we know the bug was in Squid, there are also
several other proxies that don't identify themselves as squid, but also suffer
from the same problem. It is certainly possible that they *are* squid with the
id strings changed, or that they "borrowed" code, or maybe it is just a common
mistake with proxies. (My bet is on being some form of derived from squid.)

In your case, we know you have a squid proxy that exhibits the bug (stable18,
fixed in 19&20).
