Your average_object_size is too large for your cache setup; check
cachemgr.cgi's "Store Directory Stats" for details of the current state,
and then check "General Runtime Information" to find out the actual
average object size for your particular cache - if this is significantly
different from the setting in squid.conf (probably 13 Kb), then consider
changing it there.
