I am suffering from the same 10.1/Squid problem for some time and I am
glad stumbling across this thread. Fortunately Squid is running stable
apart from this shutdown issue.

To me it looks like a serious kernel issue and I can hardly believe it
will not be fixed in the 10.1-RELEASE.

It is quite an effort to compile, manually patch and install a custom
kernel, if you aren't too experienced like I am. I have only managed
building the GENERIC kernel so far as part of the build world process
when upgrading to 10.1.
