Update Information:

Fixes language file issue, but more importantly. . .    ---------------
squidGuard upstream has released patches fixing (quoting  from upstream
advisories):    a, This patch fixes one buffer overflow problem in sgLog.c when
overlong URLs  are requested. SquidGuard will then go into emergency mode were
no blocking  occurs. This is not required in this situation.    URL:
http://www.squidguard.org/Downloads/Patches/1.4/Readme.Patch-20091015  ----
b, This patch fixes two bypass problems with URLs which length is close to the
limit defined by MAX_BUF (default: 4096) in squidGuard and MAX_URL (default:
4096 in squid 2.x and 8192 in squid 3.x) in squid. For this kind of URLs the
proxy request exceeds MAX_BUF causing squidGuard to complain about not being
able to parse the squid request.    URL:
