Ouch, sorry. Maybe this will work:
 sslcrtd_children 1 startup=0

Otherwise you are left with re-building Squid. --disable-ssl-crtd would
do if you never want to use the helper. Or the patch now applied on
Squid-4
(<http://www.squid-cache.org/Versions/v4/changesets/squid-4-14080.patch>) should
also apply fairly easily to your version.
