commBind: Cannot bind socket FD 12 to *:3128

Sir,

I am facing a problem from last one month just after reinstalling
Redhat Linux 9.0 which i never experienced before, i was been using the
squid from last 2 years and i never faced any problem for this long
ever before.

When the system got booted then everything will be fine even with squid

then after few hours suddenly squid stops working and in the cache.log
there will be messages like this for 3 times.
