Did you wait a few seconds and then killed Squid? Or did Squid quit 
(i.e. gave back control to your terminal/console session) on its own?

It looks like your Squid process is being killed by something: The log 
is missing a debugging line that should have been there right after the 
last line logged. There are no particularly dangerous calls between 
those two debugging lines.

Can you start your Squid from gdb instead of the command line?

     sudo gdb --args squid -X -N -d9 -f ...
     (gdb) run
