A similar bug report at <https://bugs.squid-cache.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5121>.
Thanks, I just updated the bug report. At least it is not just me having problems.
According to squid upstream version 5.7 is no longer supported. Version 6.7 has a workaround fix for the problem. The latest release version is 6.12. I downloaded the source code for 6.12 and I am going to try it out.
I would like to thank everyone who helped me out with this. I submitted a bug report with debian.

I built squid 6.12 from source and now I get a new error:

I got Squid 6.12 to work but only listening on IPv4. I am not sure how to get it on both IPv4 and IPv6, any suggestions?
netstat -ln
I made the following modifications to: /usr/local/squid/etc/squid.conf
# Squid normally listens to port 3128
http_port 127.0.0.1:3128
# Uncomment and adjust the following to add a disk cache directory.
cache_dir ufs /usr/local/squid/var/cache/squid 100 16 256
cache_effective_user proxy
cache_effective_group proxy
I also fixed some permission issues for the disk cache:
chown -R proxy:proxy /usr/local/squid/var/cache/squid/
I am calling it a night. I will see if I can get IPv6 working tomorrow.
