using *any* redirect_program (even /bin/cat) makes the squid shutdown
take forever (something like a minute).

Are you aware of the squid parameter shutdown_lifetime in
/etc/squid/squid.conf ? By default (IIRC it is set to 60 seconds).
Perhaps this is what is causing the delay.

stupid bts, i did not get the previous mail.

sure does shutdown_lifetime influence the delay. however, this is not
the root cause. squid should close any helper programs as soon as the
last client connection dies off instead of handling the helpers like
client connections themselves. however, it doesn't. i figure this is an
upstream bug.
