Amos, the actual root cause is this:

read /dev/stdin: operation timed out

I don't seem to find a timeout value in Go on reading from stdin. Also
since I have run the helper manually for days without an issue, it
points to Squid timing it out.
I can work around the timing out issue in the helper however Squid
still sees that it gets no response from the helper and shuts the
helper down and then restarts it.

You have any ideas?

Thanks
