Can you please provide more information on this process? Which version was the 
original install before the upgrade to 3.8.4-4?

I suspect that this comes from the fix we applied for #768170 which was a more 
critical bug while upgrading from Wheezy, since a line that was active by 
default in previous configuration now makes squid3 unable to start after 
upgrade.

We choose to comment out that line during upgrade, in a script modifying 
/etc/squid3/squid.conf.

In our tests we did not experience the behavior you reported, so I need more 
information to confirm that this is the case.

Regards,

L
