Then your are experiencing some kind of request Squid does not handle
well.

mem_node is one of many internal structures within Squid. This one keeps
track of a chunk (part of an object) while an object is being forwarded by
Squid and/or the cach_mem cache.

The next step is to try to identify the request causing this, which may be
a bit of a tedious work...

Then file bug reports as instructed in the Squid FAQ.
