      I just downloaded the VMWare image of 1.2.1-RC4 and squid works like a charm.
      My guess is that during the upgrade from 1.2-RELEASE to 1.2.1-RC4, something happens that prevents squid from running correctly.

      Unfortunately, I cannot install 1.2.1-RC4 directly on my HP NetServer LH3000 because for some reason, it won't boot from that CD. However, I will try installing it in VMWare and then cloning it to the server's hard drive.

      Software: pfSense 1.2.2-RELEASE
      Hardware: HP Workstation xw6000 (2x Xeon 2,8 GHz, 2GB RAM, 36 GB SCSI HDD)
      NICs: LAN: bge0, WAN: xl0, OPT1(WLAN): sis0
      Packages: squid, squidGuard

        I just did a clean install of 1.2.2 (via PXE boot) into VMWare and I'm getting the exact same "The dnsserver helpers are crashing too rapidly, need help!" error after installing squid 2.6.

          I'm having issues here too.  I just got around to tinkering with 1.2.2 tonight.  I too had issues getting things going but I restored a config and let the packages install upon reboot.  That was a mess, so I uninstalled all, then tried squid3.  It crashed, but once I went through the config pages and hit save I was able to get it up and running.

          I was not, however, able to get the transparent proxy to work.  If I setup my browser manually, I was subjected to all the rules as expected.  When I try via transparent, nothing goes through the proxy, and nothing gets logged.

          Squid 2.6.21_07 seems to be working as expected.

            Interesting.. I'm using 2.0 alpha and am having the same issue.  Of course after running fine for a few days, I head out of town on business and the Mrs. calls saying the net down, after troubleshooting, I'm getting the same error.  Anyone have a clue why?

              I solved this crash when i recreated the cache

              drop to pfsense shell

              cd /var/squid/cache
              rm -Rf *
              /usr/local/sbin/squid -z
              wait the prompt return

              goto the web GUI and hit save button on proxy

                Seems like the problem is gone in pfSense 1.2.2 and/or squid 2.6.21_07.

                I just installed pfSense 1.2.2 from CD onto a HP xw6000 and it worked like a charm.
                I suspect the problem I had before may not even have been related to pfSense or the squid package, but to some permissions issue due to the way I installed pfSense via PXE/NFS.

                  I installed squid+squidguard in pfsense 1.2.2 just to get rid of file extensions. The main purpose is to block the downloads like .exe .avi .. So its working. But how to set squid+squidguard not to log anything? I dont want them to be saved in the Hardisk… I dont have enough space.. I want it just blocking .exe and avi ... thanks

                    Uncheck the box called 'Enabled Logging' in the Services/Proxy Server GUI.
