Very similar, but like you said there's no 4xx response we see... I did
setup a packet capture (both from Client <-> Squid and Squid <-> Server) -
I don't have it to hand at the moment (let's just say it wasn't very
scientific - and a bit of a hack at the time).

I do recall one of the responses Squid sent back to the client contained a
Squid error page - the one you get for a "Zero sized reply received". At
the time I wondered if Flash would 'handle' (i.e. ignore/retry a zero sized
reply) and just soldier on, but maybe being force-fed a whole Squid error
page telling it it had gotten a zero-sized reply might be enough to make it
give up.

As it's not a known (or may not) be a known issue - I'll go and setup some
proper captures in the next couple of days and pull them apart to see
exactly what's happening...
