The error message I got said something about a paging error: "Could not 
determine fully qualified hostname.  Please set 'visible_hostname'"

So I decided to take the rh9 default squid.conf file and transfer all my 
changes from the rh8 squid.conf file into it by hand. As a result I was 
able to start squid.

Don't know if this is to be qualified as a bug or not.
