[squid-users] Squid Multiple instances ; Second one does not start; crashes

I have installed SquidNT port of on my G: drive apart from the one
running already.
Both the Squids have different Service names under Services Applet of Windows.
I have already created swap directories. (squid -z).
Visible_hosname have been declared.
Both are running on same machine.
Both have been assigned different NIC.
Both have been assigned different ports.
Freshly installed Squid has been allowed access in the firewall rules.
Now when I do " G:/squid/sbin/squid -f g:/xy/etc/squid.conf"

I am getting following error in my cache.log :

FATAL: Failed to create unlinkd subprocess
Squid Cache (Version 2.6.STABLE13): Terminated abnormally.

My observation:
1. There is no squid.pid file present in G:/squid/var/logs
2. unlinkd.exe exists at g:/squid/libexec/unlinkd.exe
3. If I restart the system, Squid 2.6.STABLE13 starts successfully as
seen in the services applet. But if I restart it, it again terminates
with the error shown above.

Please help why I am getting this error.
