this explains, why OpenBSD+Squid worked well for us
at the same server - I guess OpenBSD's Squid package
is better maintained.

Does anybody know of good Squid rpm's?

For example I use this for Postgres and it works well,
wonder if there are similar repositories for Squid:

$ cat /etc/yum.repos.d/pgdg-82-centos.repo
[pgdg82]
name=PostgreSQL 8.2 $releasever - $basearch
baseurl=http://yum.pgsqlrpms.org/8.2/redhat/rhel-$releasever-$basearch
enabled=1
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-PGDG

[pgdg82-source]
name=PostgreSQL 8.2 $releasever - $basearch - Source
failovermethod=priority
baseurl=http://yum.pgsqlrpms.org/srpms/8.2/redhat/rhel-$releasever-$basearch
enabled=0
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-PGDG
