This is one of two things:
1. a buffer overflow or something like that in squid, that had a deadly
effect.
2. A kernel fault. (what version of the kernel are you using?)

If it is a kernel fault, then there's a way to tell where it happened.
In the kernel source tree look under /Documentation for a file called
oops.txt or something like that, and follow its instructions to find where
the problem happens.

If it's something that has to do with squid, it can be more problematic to
track. Can ElectricFence help? Does anybody knows of a program that
checks for overflows (a la "BoundsChecker", which is for Windows)?
