If you are using RunCache and like squid -k shutdown to work then use
--enable-kill-parent-hack. The purpose of this "hack" is to
automatically kill RunCache when you tell Squid to exit.

Also note that RunCache is not really needed today. Squid already does
this by it's "daemon" mode (enabled by default, disabled with the -N
option).
