Something other than Squid closed the network socket Squid was using to
receive new client connections (the http_port socket).

The only things which should know that socket even exists are Squid and
the operating system.

This is not an error I've seen before. Is this Squid maybe running in a
container or VM which is being hibernated, or suspended, or anything
along those lines which may cause the OS filedescriptors to change
unexpectedly?
