Squid does only cache objects retreived from the network in memory.
Objects which are retreived from the disk are not cached in memory other
than in you OS disk buffers.

Try if the following changes things back to what you were used to:
1. Open the gif in a netscape browser, preferably using it's real URL.

2. Push "Shift+reload" to force the gif to be reretreived from the http
server.
