Try shutting squid down manually from a shell prompt, then switch to
another window/vty and take a look at /usr/local/squid/logs/cache.log . 
My guess is it's waiting for an active client connection to exit.  The
default for shutdown_lifetime in squid.conf is 30 seconds.  I set it to
5 on my systems.
