I just reinstalled the whole system with Slackware 10.0 and Squid
2.5.STABLE6 with all the patches. Squid was compiled with the following
options:

--prefix=/usr/local/squid --enable-snmp --enable-linux-netfilter \
--enable-cache-digests --enable-truncate --enable-async-io=160 \
--enable-storeio=ufs,aufs --enable-removal-policies=lru,heap \
--enable-poll --enable-underscores \
--enable-cachemgr-hostname=pxy.xxxx.xxx

Also changed the partitioning so there are 2 16GB caches, one on each
disk, instead of one large cache like before. half_closed_clients is set
to off.

Seems to have survived the weekend without any problems or degraded
service. Will check again after the cache is full (should take about 2-3
more days).

Thanks for the help.

It didn't really look like a Squid problem, but I'll find out soon
enough and will file a bug report if it is.
