Each message is a file failing validity checks Squid does to prevent
cache corruption. It's a strong sign of disk failure or manual tampering
with the cached files.

It's normal to see some of them and other similar during a "DIRTY"
rebuild of the cache following a crash.

If they are occuring during normal operation or a even lot. I recommend
running a disk scan, and possibly erasing the cache and rebuilding it
clean with squid -z.
