It is not only the stop button. It is any kind of cancelled requests.

The exact same thing happens if a user does anything while a page
(including embedded objects such as images etc) is being loaded,
causing the operation to be aborted by the browser

  - Follows a link while images is loading
  - Uses the back button before the page has loaded fully
  - Clicks on another link before the first selected link has started
to be loaded
  - etc...

The specific error relating to comm_accept is if the browser decides
to abort the request before it has even been received by Squid, which
is not too unlikely to happen in the cases listed above.
