[There is no way to start squid again after pollution of cache]
AFAIK, squid 2.3 version has got the same problem with LRU (Linked-list)
cache replacement alogrithm. So squid 2.2 version may get the same
situation especially with LRU algorithm. Try also other cache algorithm.
(GDSF or LFUDA) These were implemented to squid after 2.2 st3 version.
