I suspect the RPM binary is stripped of debugging symbols. See "man strip" for details. You can strip your own binary as well. All other factors being equal, it is better to run non-stripped Squid binaries so that it is easier for you to provide backtraces should Squid crash and leave a core dump. HTH, Alex.
