No. This seems to occur when either the stored object is corrupted,
incompletely written, or the size of object is apparently larger than
the size of the file.

At a blind guess, I'd say its a 64-bit build reading a file stored by a
32-bit build.

The result is that squid immediately dumps the file out of cache. So if
it repeats for any given object or for any newly stored ones, its a
problem, but once per existing object after a cache format upgrade may
be acceptable.

Ah, these seems to be regular popups. It's a counter overflow on the
reporting. We try to fix in the latest release as discovered, there may
be a patch already in later releases or HEAD. If not bug report time for
that.
