Tim, I'm sorry that you're experiencing the issue. I believe that squid
may have always had this issue and we only stirred it up by updating
squid.

There is a really scary workaround available which is to create a
program that exhausts the pid-space until tracked pid exists again, and
then upstart will be able to re-attach and kill it...

I do think that we may need something a little less perfect than a full
rewrite of the ptrace tracker that we could possibly backport to lucid.
There seems to be a missing command that would allow an administrator to
tell upstart to just forget about an instance.
