What you described is not squid crashing, but init. It sounds like you've adjusted the kernel parameters inappropriately, and that's what you need to fix. I don't know the solution off-hand, but check the mailing list archives for extensive discussion on how to tune kernel parameters for large-memory configurations. Be aware that what you're trying to do may be impossible - i.e. if you really need 3GB of RAM for squid, it sounds like it's being heavily used, and may therefore also require a lot of kernel memory to manage the network resources.q If you need more than 1GB of kernel memory, you're out of luck with only 4GB total.
