This is true for most Squid 2.X releases.

Set
maximum_single_addr_tries 1
to disable this and get rid of a number of problems related to
commResetFD. The retry feature implemented with commResetFD is
technically not needed in Squid 2.2 as the same thing is also done at a
higher level in the code.

I'll include this change in my next snapshot release, for whatever it is
worth.
