It may help others if you detail "stopped working" based on a test case 
involving Squid. AFAICT, your email contains an attempt to manually feed 
the helper a syntactically invalid request but does not detail what does 
not work when Squid is involved. The cache.log provided shows an unused 
helper.

A helper request must start with "YR" or "KK" characters. This manual 
request does not.

There is no "auth_parauth_param" directive. This is probably a 
copy-paste typo, but please check that the actual spelling is "auth_param".


Disclaimer: I do not know much about kerberos and negotiate_kerberos_auth.


HTH,
