Unfortunately, I do not know what causes that specific error, I do not
know whether it was fixed, and, if it was fixed, which Squid versions
contain the fix. In other words, my previous answer did not imply
anything beyond the stated facts.

There may be no good way to answer your questions, but the best way
could be to test the latest Squid v4 release and the latest Squid v5
snapshot.
