I have more news on this bug. It is possibly a bug with Hardy in general and not with squid specifically.
I turned off squid and apache and let the machine just run (doing almost nothing). The cache did not appear to grow much at all, definitely not at the predictable rate it did when squid was turned on. However, after 16 hours the cache had grown to consume most of the memory even when not much was really running. The activity of squid was probably just making the memory problem happen more quickly. This install of Hardy server is running on the most recently available Mac mini hardware.
