the problem is squid waits for 30 (default) seconds to terminate, and
prevents new squid process from spawning.  I have just added this to my
/etc/init/squid.conf

this causes upstart to wait for squid to fully exit before declaring it
stopped, this means things like restart squid function as expected

post-stop script
        pidof \(squid\) >> /dev/null
        while [ $? -eq 0 ]; do
                sleep 1
                pidof \(squid\) || exit 0 >> /dev/null
        done
end script

The wait time for squid shutdown can be controlled with the 'shutdown_lifetime' 
variable
