Not a lot.  Looks like squidguard has gone berzerk reading lots of stuff from
pagecache.  Could be that it has a bug which is triggered by subtly altered
kernel behaviour, or a subtle bug in the kernel broke it.

Do any other applications exhibit the same behaviour?

Can you generate a simple, standalone usage of squidguard which exhibits this
behaviour?  Just starting them up??

You may need to build your own squidguard and attach gdb to one, see what
it's up to.
