[squid-users] Squid does not start/shutdown properly

I have two machines, both running squid3. One runs stable1 and the other stable19. The one running stable1 is on a virtual machine.
When i execute /etc/init.d/squid3 on both machines, this is what i get on

stable1:
/etc/init.d/squid3
Usage: /etc/init.d/squid3 {start|stop|reload|force-reload|restart}

stable19:
/etc/init.d/squid3
Usage: /etc/init.d/squid3 { start | stop }

Sometimes when i start the stable19 system, squid doesn't start giving me an error, that there's already a running squid process. i suspect this has something to do with squid not shutting down properly.

When i stop squid using /etc/init.d/squid3 stop on both machines, i get no response at all on the stable19 platform.
But on the stable1 machine i get this when i stop squid:

/etc/init.d/squid3 stop
 * Stopping Squid HTTP Proxy 3.0 squid3
 * Waiting...
 * ...
 * ...
 * ...
 * ...
 * ...
 * ... [ OK ]
                                                                         [ OK ]

I compiled the squid stable19 version myself. here are the compiler options:
 Version 3.0.STABLE19
configure options: '--build=i486-linux-gnu' '--prefix=/usr' '--includedir=${prefix}/include' '--mandir=${prefix}/share/man' '--infodir=${prefix}/share/info' '--sysconfdir=/etc' '--localstatedir=/var' '--libexecdir=${prefix}/lib/squid3' '--disable-maintainer-mode' '--disable-dependency-tracking' '--srcdir=.'

The VM compiler options look like this:
Version 3.0.STABLE1
configure options: '--build=i486-linux-gnu' '--prefix=/usr' '--includedir=${prefix}/include' '--mandir=${prefix}/share/man' '--infodir=${prefix}/share/info' '--sysconfdir=/etc' '--localstatedir=/var' '--libexecdir=${prefix}/lib/squid3' '--disable-maintainer-mode' '--disable-dependency-tracking' '--srcdir=.' '--datadir=/usr/share/squid3' '--sysconfdir=/etc/squid3' '--mandir=/usr/share/man' '--with-cppunit-basedir=/usr' '--enable-inline' '--enable-async-io=8' '--enable-storeio=ufs,aufs,coss,diskd' '--enable-removal-policies=lru,heap' '--enable-poll' '--enable-delay-pools' '--enable-cache-digests' '--enable-snmp' '--enable-htcp' '--enable-select' '--enable-carp' '--enable-large-files' '--enable-underscores' '--enable-icap-client' '--enable-auth=basic,digest,ntlm' '--enable-basic-auth-helpers=LDAP,MSNT,NCSA,PAM,SASL,SMB,YP,getpwnam,multi-domain-NTLM' '--enable-ntlm-auth-helpers=SMB' '--enable-digest-auth-helpers=ldap,password' '--enable-external-acl-helpers=ip_user,ldap_group,session,unix_group,wbinfo_group' '--with-filedescriptors=65536' '--with-default-user=proxy' '--enable-epoll' '--enable-linux-netfilter' 'build_alias=i486-linux-gnu' 'CC=cc' 'CFLAGS=-g -O2 -g -Wall -O2' 'LDFLAGS=-Wl,-Bsymbolic-functions' 'CPPFLAGS=' 'CXX=g++' 'CXXFLAGS=-g -O2 -g -Wall -O2' 'FFLAGS=-g -O2'

Do i have to reconfigure and rebuild my squid to get the same behaviour on both machines? is there an option that controls this behaviour in the squid.conf?
