I applied your renewed patch to squid-6.0.0-20200811-r983fab6e9 -- and
so far the resulting binary seems to be much more stable than with the
previous patch to #5055.

We're currently giving that instance 10% of the connections for
testing (in contrast to the usual 25%)

5.0.2 (running on the other 3 nodes) gives us about 21.7h average
uptime with a median uptime of 28.6h
