This tells us that your Squid is still listening for incoming 
connections. Most likely, it is not "dead" but running and just unable 
to make progress with those connections (for yet unknown reasons). That 
information is helpful but not sufficient (for me) to solve the problem 
you are describing.

The next step that I would recommend is to collect debugging information 
from the running process and share a pointer to the corresponding 
compressed cache.log file:

* Ideally, start collection when Squid starts and reproduce the problem 
while collecting full debugging information:
http://wiki.squid-cache.org/SquidFaq/BugReporting#full-debug-output

* If you have to, start collection after Squid is already in bad state 
and just before you use telnet or browser to tickle Squid:
http://wiki.squid-cache.org/SquidFaq/BugReporting#debugging-a-single-transaction

Do not use any secret information (e.g., production certificate keys) 
for these tests (unless you are going to share the logs privately with 
those you trust).

Do not downgrade to v5 for these tests.


HTH,

Alex.
