Interesting..
Can you try again, this time issuing a "squid -k debug" while experiencing
the problem and then see cache.log for detailed output of what your squid
is doing. (run "squid -k debug" again to stop the debug output).
It is possible your parent is returning some odd response in response to
the netdb exchange request, confusing Squid. From looking at the source I
have a theory on what it may be.. (theory: no HTTP header found within the
first 4096 bytes of the reply, shows up in the debug log as a high rate of
"netdbExchangeHandleReply: start parsing loop, size = 0")
If you can confirm this please file a bug report.
