I'm not shure.
We're using DEC UNIX 3.2C, compiler is gcc 2.7.2.2.
After reading this mail, I used cachmgr to check my squid and found all
memory fields 0. I remembered I've seen this output wiht normal values some
times back. In the meantime, I had installed gnu's libmalloc.a and some new
versions of squid, now I'm using 1.1.18.
So I removed libmalloc.a, reconfigured/rebuild 1.1.18 and look what pretty
results: 
Resource usage for squid:
        CPU Time: 0 seconds (0 user 0 sys)
        CPU Usage: 0%
        Maximum Resident Size: 3336 KB
        Page faults with physical i/o: 0
Memory usage for squid via mallinfo():
        Total space in arena:    3222 KB
        Ordinary blocks:         2705 KB   1553 blks
        Small blocks:             181 KB   2900 blks
        Holding blocks:             0 KB     29 blks
        Free Small blocks:        125 KB
        Free Ordinary blocks:     210 KB
        Total in use:            2886 KB 90%
        Total free:               335 KB 10%
