Thanks, Andrew. I did not know that the state of the ntlm_auth was marked
by squid. I will forward the question to the squid list.

Perhaps this question is best directed at the squid list? While I wrote
ntlm_auth, I'm not sure I can help with how squid is marking the state
of the helpers.
It might be that we need to have a better way to have ntlm_auth tell
Squid that there is a problem now, but it might go away (previous helper
designs had to be restarted for that to happen, but ntlm_auth can
recover on it's own).
