Ouch. Yes definitely go to a 64-bit kernel. It will already be having
other problems simply addressing most of that RAM.

Squid can handle 64-bit for 'large' files even if Squid itself is 32-bit
if the build environment and underlying kernel can support larger types.
It sounds to me like the kernel Squid was built against could not
support it.
Going to 64-bit kernel and rebuilding Squid may indeed be what you require.
