2.2pre1 - RunCache...and Squid stops answering?

Hi folks,

I'm running Squid 2.2PRE1 on an OpenBSD 2.4 machine...

It has been running 2.1p2 for over a month without any problems.

When I moved up to 2.2pre1, the RunCache script stopped working...It keeps
running squid, thinking that it has died, but in fact just ends up running
five copies of squid and four of them die off. So, I run squid directly
because it is supposed to behave more like a daemon.

After ten or so hours of operation with small/moderate load, squid stops
answering on port 3128. If I telnet to the port, I don't get connection
refused, it just sits there, as if the cache server is down.

Squid is still running, however, and kill -HUP `cat squid.pid` seems to fix
this behavior. Any ideas what I should do? I tried increasing the number of
'dnsserver' processes but the way I understand it if it was too small that
wouldn't cause this ???
