It means that the previous time you ran Squid you did not let it to 
terminate in a clean manner, and Squid need to verify the consistency of 
the cache a little harder while rebuilding the internal index of what is 
cached.

Seeing this on a newly created cache directory is OK. Just means Squid 
will verify the consistency of the new cache directory a little harder.

Seeing this after what you think is a normal restart is not OK.
