Short of modifying the source to do more printing, is that another better way to find out what's wrong ?

You can try the "-X -k check" option to debug the startup process at
level-9.

Or you can use "-d<n> -k check" to debug at lower verbosity levels (0-9).

You can search the syslog and /var/log/messages system logs for the
messages Squid output before the cache_log file was opened.
