It is not expected to work in squid 3.x. The original COSS
implementation had a lot of bugs and the people who fixed it up for the
squid-2.6+ fork did not assist with getting many of those fixes into the
squid-3 branch.

3.2 provides rock store type instead which is an updated design similar
to COSS but with SMP support and some other improvements.
