Did you get any message in /var/log/squid/* or /var/log/syslog?

I had a similar experience and it turned out to be down to the RAM usage of
squid exceeding 3GB (the limit for a process on a 32bit OS).  As the cache
memory filled up, squid's ram size increased until it restarted, and began
filling up again.  I reduced the mem_cache size and everything is fine
since then.
