[squid-users] Problem with Squid 2.5

I have been running Squid as my companies intranet/internet proxy. It
has done great. I use squidGuard for a redirector. Lately after
upgrading to squid 2.5.5 I keep getting an error in cache.org when
people try to connect to sites like webmail.aol.com, yahoo/hotmail/msn
webmails. Here is the error:

2004/04/01 10:11:26| urlParse: Illegal character in hostname '.j'
2004/04/01 10:15:47| urlParse: Illegal character in hostname '.j'
2004/04/01 10:15:47| urlParse: Illegal character in hostname '.j'

Weird huh? If I hit 'refresh' I can get passed this. Some of my users
can't go anywhere with aol webmail though. Any ideas? The screen comes
up with an 'Invalid URL'. I'm guessing that weird dotJ is the problem.
Dunno how to get around it though. Here is my squid.conf file:
