correct, including what other files there may be next to it..

no, we want the swap.state files which is triggering the problem,
assuming it's swap.state content somehow triggering this problem...

That you try the same again, by shutting down Squid, then clear the
cache and restore the backed up swap.state files and start Squid again.
Hopefully the problem will manifest itself again, if so then there is an
frozen state which produces the problem, and which can be debugged
further to isolate what goes wrong.
