You have a cache_mem of 1 GB, plus 60 GB of cache_dir. That alone is
about 1.6GB or memory. Then your OS need some..

How much memory do the server have? In a previous post you claimed 6GB.
Why then only 2GB of swap? If you have swap it should be at least as
large as the memory, preferably larger.. but I do not think this is
your problem..

If you suspect there is a memory problem with Squid then monitor the
process size over time, and also see the cachemgr memory page to see if
there is any indications to what the memory is being used for. And the
general runtime info page as well (even if many numbers there break down
when the process grows above 2GB due to glibc mallinfo reporting
limitations, not our fault).
