Upgrading may be a good idea.. especially if you are making a new
Squid setup. The current stable and maintained Squid release is
Squid-2.5.STABLE3.

Looks like you should not get the above warning.. and I don't if I use
the exact same configuration (well, a different path to the cache
directory) in Squid-2.5.

But are you absolutely sure you want this huge cache_mem setting? See
the Squid FAQ chapter on memory usage..
