apt/squid errors

[Brian May <bam@debian.org>]

Hello,

Background:

I have apt configured to receive data from my squid proxy server.  The
data comes over a PPP connection. Anything from 14.4Kbps to 34.4Kbps
causes the following problem.

I never noticed the problem until I upgraded from the initial slink
release of apt to the latest security fix.

It is:

Could not connect to proxy (202.12.87.129).

When this problem occurs, all further transfers fail with the same
error. If I restart apt immediately, the same errors occur. I have to
wait about 5-10 seconds and then restart apt, and everything works
fine.

Any ideas what is going wrong?

Thanks in advance.
