In my first steps in tracking this down this problem, I found that squid stops responding after receiving a request with a huge cookie (some data modified to try preserve privacy, but the length of the data remains correct) extracted as text using Wireshark. Is this sufficient to determine what could be happening, or will it be necessary to get a debugging log?

I recommend opening a new bug report then. 3KB is by no means "huge",
will not trigger Squid warnings, and should be handled normally. To make
progress, we would probably need ALL,5+ debugging log or a way to
reproduce this.

Thank you,
