Squid 5.2 Ubuntu 22.04 LTS keeps crashing

I am running Squid 5.2 installed using apt on Ubuntu 22.04 Jammy LTS. This is in a virtual KVM machine with 75GB drive and 6GB of RAM and dual-core AMD Epyc. This build is running on a Synology NAS DS-1821+ on there newer DSM 7.1 OS. The problem I am having is Squid crashing with fatal errors. It works great for a random amount of time, then dies. Here are a sampling of the log errors:

FATAL: check failed: opening()#012 exception location: tunnel.cc(1300) noteDestinationsEnd#012 current master transaction: master291
FATAL: check failed: opening()#012 exception location: tunnel.cc(1300) noteDestinationsEnd#012 current master transaction: master57
FATAL: check failed: opening()#012 exception location: tunnel.cc(1300) noteDestinationsEnd#012 current master transaction: master57

FATAL: check failed: opening()#012 exception location: tunnel.cc(1300) noteDestinationsEnd#012 current master transaction: master59
FATAL: check failed: opening()#012 exception location: tunnel.cc(1300) noteDestinationsEnd#012 current master transaction: master4154
assertion failed: tunnel.cc:1010: "!client.dirty"#012 current master transaction: master83

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated as googling these error messages only bring up scenarios that do not seem applicable to my scenario.

This is apparently a bug, discussed here.
You could try installing a more recent version of Squid, from this ppa, for example:
https://launchpad.net/~kgeorgiy/+archive/ubuntu/squid-ssl

You could also try compiling the latest version, as indicated here, on the application's website.
