Squid running?

PREVIOUSLY:
--------------------------------
Squid 2.2.STABLE4 runs as a process under RH6.1 My Win95 workstations
access the Internet through it. But ... the cache.log tells me, among other
things:

helperOpen Servers: Starting 5 "dnsserver" processes
Unlinked pipe opened on FD 10
........ <snip>
Loaded icons.
commBind: Cannot bind socket FD 33 to *:3128 (98) Address already in use
FATAL: Cannot open HTTP Port
Squid cache (Version 2.2.STABLE4): Terminated abnormally

The workstations were still accessing the Internet an hour after the
time-stamp on the log.
--------------------------------

*please also note: until I configured squid.conf with
             acl ourhosts src 10.1.1.0/255.255.255.0
             http_access allow ourhosts
none of my Windows machines connected. So I took that to mean that squid
was running. Even after the cache.log said that squid terminated, the
machines connect.

Now, following the advice of the several people who responded to the earlier
message, I ran lsof and then, lsof -i. Also netstat -a and ps -auxww.
These gave me information -- reams of it. I lack the experience to
interpret it all, so I am posting some snips, in the hopes that you-all will
be able to tell me what some of it means.

++++ from lsof -i

squid 601 root 33u IPv4 785 TCP *:3128 (LISTEN)
squid 601 root 34u IPv4 786 UDP *:icp

There are also 10 dnsserver processes running. (saving space and not
listing them) But two are listed for each localhost.

** in all of the above, I selected only those portions that seemed squid
related, to try to keep this somewhat brief.

It seems to tell me (and this is all that it tells me) that squid IS running
... but that squid is running as root on process 598 and as squid on 601 --
could the root process be the one that was terminated?

How would I find -- is there a quick way to find -- where squid is started
by root? (assuming you-all agree that this is happening ...)

And ... when the error message from squid said: "Cannot bind socket FD 33
to *:3128 (98)", would that be the 33u that lsof -i lists?
