Using only one authenticator child apparently *dramatically* reduced the
number of reauthentications.

There was only one report of a reauthentication request afterwards, and
after a single reauthentication after the reboot of squid it seems to work
for now *knock on wood*. It is not too clear if that report was actually
correct.
 
I'll check the logs later for anything suspicious and/or interesting.
