Linux 2.2.1 defaults to 1024 FDs per process, but Squid's configure
script is a bit broken in versions before Squid 2.2.DEVEL3. Devel3 tried
to fix it, but it's missing a test for getrlimit() (really shouldn't
test getrlimit() since I don't know of any OSs with setrlimit() and not
getrlimit() but hey...).

Use the attached patch against 2.2.DEVEL3.
