Hi,

I'm seeing the same after update to 1.8. Tried a full proxy reinstall,
but the result is the same. For me all channels are affected. (centos 6,
base, updates, fasttrack).

Right now every attempt to download a package behind the proxy results
in an "Forwarding loop" logged by squid in cache.log.
