You've told me that you are using 2.5.STABLE4. There is a known
bug that could cause the behavior you describe, but it was introduced
*after* 2.5.STABLE4. You might have been using that buggy code if
you got Squid from our anonymous CVS repository or if someone is
distributing a later version and still calling it STABLE4.

The bug either causes Squid to crash or to enter an infinite loop
and conusme 100% CPU time, which would result in the behavior that
you've described. http://www.squid-cache.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=891
