The cache_mem parameter only controls one type of memory used by Squid. If
you look at the example squid.conf that comes with Squid you will see a
notation that the total Squid memory use can be up to 3 times the cache_mem
value.
So 135MB = 3 * 45MB. You've basically told Squid to use more memory than
the 128MB of RAM you have installed. That's not good.
