Ah, this is a little catch-22 in squid.
To pass the start/stop/etc a second instance of squid needs to start for a
short while to generate a control signal.
If squid.conf contains an error that second instance fails to start and do
its thing. Running "squid -k parse" or a scan of the cache.log should show
you where the problem is. Fix that and the squid controls should work
again.
