It means the client fetched one request and requested the connection
keep-alive.
Then the client did not use the connection until Squid timed out waiting.

It is only harmful in that the client connection was holding the socket
resources for the timeout period needlessly.

Perhapse because your users are requesting it. Squid is a HTTP
optimizing proxy not just a cache.
