we have since long ago using a Squid cache (Version 2.2.Stable5)

first into memory before transfer it to the clients. This lead to a squid
process using all available memory until it is killed by the OS if we try to
download files excceding the RAM size (~500MB).
I would suggest you to try upgrading to a current Squid version
before investigating this any deeper. Squid-2.2.STABLE5 is very old
and has since long been forgotten by all developers.
During the years a number of "sudden increase of memory usage"
situations have been corrected and there is a very high likelyhood
the problem you are seeing is already fixed.
Current Squid version is 2.5.STABLE10.
After some fiddling around with the really dated system (Kernel 2.2 :-) we
mananged to get 2.5.STABLE10 to work and the memory problem is in fact gone.
Time to fix the whole system and try out how well Squid works on 64Bit Opteron
with Kernel 2.6 ;-)
Thanxs a lot
Andreas
