The squid developers can correct me, but the port seems to be used for inter-process communication between the parent squid process and its children. I have different ports for each child squid process.

Hi, The port allocation seems to be different for each individual squid installation, I had a look on another box and its using a 33256 port. Run lsof -i | grep squid and you will probably see an 'additional' port binding...Ok, got hit by a google-neutrino : http://www.squid-cache.org/mail-archive/squid-users/200105/0847.html M.
