That line exists solely to prevent caching of objects which the Squid
version is not able to validate correctly.

It looks like your 3.0 is not able to handle the finer Date and Age
related calculations needed to store that dynamic response.
Several problems like this have been fixed in the 3.1 series. Sounds
like its time for you to upgrade.

FWIW; I provide package ports of the latest production version for
Ubuntu at https://launchpad.net/~yadi/+archive/ppa. Ubuntu 10.04 lacks
functionality for some of the more interesting 3.1 features, so don't
expect TPROXY or eCAP to be fully functional but everything you use now
in 3.0 should work.
