I found that the problem is you need to set the visible_hostname "hostname" variable in squid.conf if you do not have a FQHN for the box or squid complains on startup and fails to load. I don't like this behavior but I guess it has changed since the previous version which did not have this issue. Once I set visible_hostname, Squid starts ok and restarts without error.
