I would add that setting visible_hostname in /etc/squid/squid.conf after
the coredump et al, and then

sudo /etc/init.d/squid restart

does work & squid starts just fine afterwards - and yes, even after a
reboot (-:) everything still works. I just find it odd that a bug report
dating back to 2005 showing the problem (core dump/visible_hostname etc)
hasn't been fixed as yet. Perhaps tomorrow I'll find time to tilt at
windmills re 12709 and 97505...
