cache.log should have more information on what the reason to the abot
is, but I think the reason is that your log processing script cannot
keep up with the rate of log entries sent by Squid.

I would recommend using the File::Tail perl module to monitor the log
file rather than logging via a pipe. This allows your log processor to
process the log when it can with no impact on Squid.
