I had a look and no attempt is made to read the specified config file:

$ strace -f /usr/sbin/squid.exe -N -f xxyx 2>&1 | grep xxyx
   137   70537 [main] squid 16040 build_argv: argv[3] = 'xxyx'

Normally, squid will print a message saying that xxyx cannot be opened.
Evidently, it crashes before it gets to that point.
