Hmm.. sounds like their browser have gone nuts. Have seen this happen
a few times with some beta versions of Mozilla where it cached a bad
password in addition to the password entered in the login box,
reusing the bad password on the next request..

It could also be a user_ip or max_conn acl, but in such case there
should be a message in cache.log.

There is none. The browser logs in with the same login+password to
Squid on each and every request.
