If you have made a custom authenticator then this is a classic symptom
of forgetting to turning off STDIO buffering.

Perl:

BEGIN { $|=1; }

C:

setbuf(stdout, NULL);

What is happening is that Squid sends your username+password to the
authenticator which validates it and puts the response in it's STDIO
buffer for stdout, but the response stays in the buffer and never
reaches Squid.
