Something you might try:
build a unpatched squid-2.5 with a *different* prefix (configure
--prefix=foo)

give it an used port (say 3140 :}).

ensure your ulimits etc and any solaris requirements for getting a core
are theoretically correct.

run it with -N.

now, use kill -SIGSEGV <pid of this test squid>

that should cause a core file to be generated. And if it doesn't, it
will let you experiment without impacting your users to find out how to
get a core on solaris.
