It seems like you're being hit by a memory leak, or there are some
serious configuration problems.
How often does this happen, and how much load is there on the system?
(in hits per second or minute, please)

Going 64-bit for squid isn't going to solve things, at most it will
delay the crash but it may cause further problems to the system
stability.

Please see http://wiki.squid-cache.org/SquidFaq/BugReporting for hints
on how to proceed.
