I attached some cachemgr pages. The ones ending in 1 are taken
immediately after a crash (the process size was still very small); the
ones ending in 2 were taken approx 24 hours later, when squid said it
had 700 MB process size, but "top" said squid was actually 1030 MB :-)
(i think i'll believe top :-P).

Theoretically yes, but that's a production machine, so it will be really
difficult to run a debugger on it.
