squid -k reconfigure needs to obtain the process-id of the running
copy, it gets that from the pid-file (I think the config option is
pid_filename).
So either the running squid can't write the pid file, or the file
can't be read by the "-k reconfigure" command; this can be due to
filesystem permissions, or something else deleting the pid-file in the
meantime.
