At last! Confirmation that I'm not going crazy. I'm also seeing this
exact same behavior (under squid 1.16->1.20). We spent a *long* time
trying to track down the problem (basically turning off cron for a while to
make sure there was no secret periodic job that was causing the problem,
running squid in the foreground rather than the background to see if some
secret error message was printed, searching the archives for anyone
experieincing a similar problem, etc...) All of this came to naught and we
just eventually gave up and made a cron job that runs every couple of
minutes and restarts squid if it's dead. This is (IMHO) not a good
solution at all, but for a while I thought we were the only one with the
problem.

Does anyone have insight into what would be causing this?
