The "howto" is wrong, or you misinterpreted it.

RunCache uses the -N option, which prevents Squid from spawning the child
process of itself.

yes, its normal. Everything is fine.

FYI, you don't need to use RunCache unless you like it. You can just
run Squid by itself instead. For example

        # squid -s

Then you'd see the message about spawning child processes.
