HELP: squid dies with "Unable to allocate 4096 blocks of 1 byte"

hello squid-users,

my squid runs well since a week, but today he suddenly died and was
restarted by his father-process.

my box is a HP-UX C110 with 256 of RAM. nothing else is running on this
machine. the squid process was round about 130 MB of size as it died.
i using squid 2.2.5, comiled with gcc 2.8.1 on HP-UX 10.20

in the cache.log the following messages occurs

2000/03/30 14:27:52| sslReadClient: FD 26: read failure: (232) Connection

cache_dir /squid02/cache 1000 32 256
cache_dir /squid03/cache 1000 32 256

i think there should be enough space for squid in the memory and on the
disks.

questions:

why squid dies?
why only the directories /squid01 and squid03 are affected and not the
/squid02 dir ?
why the /squid01-directory is 1100 MB of size, although i gave it only 1000
MB?

thanks for help
