Ah! However, that doesn't agree with what the docs say:

     cache_peer hostname type http-port icp-port [options]

taken from http://www.squid-cache.org/Doc/config/cache_peer/

As such the icp-port is defined as 3130 by our config.

Looking at the 'icp_port' command (from the same site) I see that it
says the old default was 3130 - hence why it worked at 2.7 - but is now
0 (disabled) from 3.0 onwards. This was not mentioned in the ChangeLog
file or the RELEASENOTES at all.
