When I was experimenting with squid under Digital Unix, the process had
the tendency to grow in virtual size until it would take up all the memory
and die out.  It's possible something similar's happening here, you can
find out by doing a ps aux and looking at the vsize for a few hours while
it's running.  You may also want to install Gnu Malloc if you can find it.
