Squid init.d stop fails when squid is crashed

Running ‘/etc/init.d/squid stop’ fails when squid is crashed. It should not fail but do the equivalent of ‘/etc/init.d/squid zap’.

squid 2.7.6-r11

To reproduce:
/etc/init.d/squid start
killall squid
/etc/init.d/squid stop

The status is then crashed instead of stopped. This is fairly serious because it prevents me from doing ‘/etc/init.d/networking restart’ because squid is in a weird state.
