Thanks OP, this actually made me laugh uproariously. Anyway, I'd be willing to bet 100 push-ups that (unless it was malicious and not a bug), this thing is caused by some clean up code somewhere that originally intended to do "rm -rf /path/to/squid/socket" but the function that was suppose to generate the "/path/to/squid/socket" string instead generated a null which was then parseString'd onto a "" via some + function that was trying to do "/" + null. But I'm neither a redhat user nor an OS dev, so I might completely wrong.
