Should not make any difference. A new set of helpers will be started,
and the old set of helpers will terminate when finished with what
they were doing.

The code that reaps exited child processes (defunct) is fully
independent of this or pretty much anything else in Squid..

Do you always see the problem, or does it start all of a sudden?

Note: once you start getting defunct processes after a rotate I would
expect future rotates to keep leaving defunct processes.
