This debugging script should help there. It ensures almost zero
downtime for clients while debugging a crash on a production machine.

http://wiki.squid-cache.org/SquidFaq/BugReporting#Using_gdb_debugger_on_a_live_proxy_.28with_minimal_downtime.29

Essentially it grabs the debug traces and restarts squid on every
crash, leaving you a set of GDB reports about the problem. If you can
ensure cores are left on the system you can use those reports and go
back for more data.
