NP: fork() which is used by Squid can require virtual memory in large amounts. Even though the processes do not actually use that much RAM. In your particular case with Squid worker using 30% (say 'N') of your RAM, the fork() for those 5 ssl_crtd helpers will require Nx5 of virtual memory to start, while only using ~4MB of real RAM. Some OS do it better than others. Some actually allocate swap space for all that virtual memory and never use it (yuck).
