Bug in squid-1.1.4 -> squid-1.1.6?

We have discovered a weird bug or problem in squid from version 1.1.4 to
1.1.6.

We have a Sun Ultra II running Solaris, 512MB RAM

Squid normally uses about 15-20% CPU. All of a sudden the CPU usage goes
up to around 70% and the messages as well as cache.log get entries like
this.

This continues for long periods (sometimes hours) and fills up the log
files.

Has anybody else experienced this behaviour?
