That's a 110 GB cache which is big. So that is absolutely nothing there
in /var/log/squid/cache.log before your Squid process goes Zombie?

So you also have sibling caches too? But why is there so little ICP
traffic compared to HTTP traffic?

When your Squid process gets freeze or goes zombie, what errors does
your web browser gives you? I guess that machine does not loose network
connectivity?

When your Squid process goes to a zombie state again, check the number
of mbufs used at that very moment.

Maybe, just maybe, it could be related to your mbufs running out.
