OK, I investigated a little bit, and I found a couple of reasons why 
Squid wouldn't shutdown correctly.

A peek in /var/log/squid/cache.log indicated this:

...
WARNING: Could not write pid file
...

So I explicitly defined a PID file in squid.conf:

...
pid_filename /var/run/squid/squid.pid
...

Now the PID file is written correctly, but still, running:

# /etc/rc.d/rc.squid stop

wouldn't stop the squid processes. Took a peek in the rc.file, and here 
it is:

--8<--------------------------------------------------------
squid_stop() {
   COUNTDOWN=$(awk '/^shutdown_lifetime/ {print $2}' $SQUIDCFG)
   [ -z "$COUNTDOWN" ] && COUNTDOWN=30

   echo -n "Shutting down Squid in $COUNTDOWN seconds:  "
   $SQUIDCMD -k shutdown 2> /dev/null
   while $SQUIDCMD -k check 2> /dev/null ; do
     sleep 1
     echo -n .
     COUNTDOWN=$[ $COUNTDOWN - 1 ]
     if [ $COUNTDOWN -le 0 ] ; then
       $SQUIDCMD -k interrupt 2> /dev/null
       sleep 1
       break
     fi
   done
   echo
}
--8<--------------------------------------------------------

Now I added the following option to squid.conf:

shutdown_lifetime 30 seconds

 From here, it got parsed correctly, and now everything is working fine.

cheers,

Niki
