Ye olde squid 1.0? Hmmm... Its worth taking the time to upgrade to 1.1,
really.

The contrary. It looks like your file system is screwed for some reason.
Make sure your system did a full fsck when it restarted (it probably did
after a kernel panic). Or better still make sure the disk is mounted
read-only and run "e2fsck -c" which will look for bad blocks on your disk
and mark them unusable. The errors are probably a sign of your disk being
about to give out, so you may want to consider getting a new one if this
happens again.
