This is caused by a extreme load on the swap during restart due to how a
UNIX fork works. Either make sure you have several times the size of the
squid process of swap available, or hack the squid sources to use vfork
instead of fork (be warned that a number of OS:es has/had problems with
vfork..).

I think there is a note in the FAQ on this (the swap requirement when
rotating logs).
