There is a difference, but apparently not in the final outcome.

Please use the following or equivalent command to start your Squid with 
debugging enabled (-X), wait ~30 seconds, and then press Control-C (to 
kill the running Squid process if it is running), compress, and share a 
pointer to the resulting stderr output captured in the 
/tmp/debugging.log file.

     squid -X -N -d9 -f /etc/squid/squid.conf.saved 2> /tmp/debugging.log

It is best to use default Squid configuration for this triage in order 
to reduce the chances of sharing sensitive information in that debugging 
log.
