Again I highly recommend you check the memory for problems:

http://www.memtest86.com/

Another thing I've noticed that can cause strange problems:
miss-matched memory timings caused by mixture of RAM, especially if
the BIOS is set to auto detect timings. Double check the memory module
RAS/CAS timings between each module and if they are not the same,
force the timing in the BIOS from the highest timing module. I also
recommend checking to see if there is a BIOS update for your board.

Good luck.

As a comparison, I'm running squid-2.5.STABLE13 on a 4.0 snapshot without issue:

Thanks for your reply.
I installed squid from the Package "squid-2.6.STABLE9.tgz" on OpenBSD
4.1-stable i386.
Here the relevant parts of my squid.conf.

        cache_mem 192 MB
        maximum_object_size 16 MB
        cache_dir ufs /var/squid/cache 5000 16 256

With this cache_mem size, the squid process use 498 MB of RAM.
In a few days I will try to run a little C-Program which allocate more
than 512 MB and post the output here.

Here my dmesg.
