Hello Chris, the mailing list :-)

-probable there is a pid-file, that the squid-script touched at startup.
Then the process died for some unknown reason, and you must remove it to
be able to start squid again.

The script says:
 [ -f /var/run/squid.pid ] || break

ergo: if /var/run/squid.pid exists, break.

Try to remove the pid-file, and try to start it again.
