Maybe you are using one of my patches that attempts to allow a Squid
using poll to use more filedescriptors than FD_SETSIZE is set to. I have
later found that doing such a thing is not a good thing to do. There are
several places in the code which indirectly depends on FD_SETSIZE, and
using more filedescriptors will give strange errors or crashes.

Make sure __FD_SETSIZE is defined to at least the amount of
filedescriptors you'd like to support. It is set both in
/usr/include/bits/types.h and /usr/src/linux/include/linux/types.h. You
should then rebuild Squid and your Linux kernel (don't forget to make
clean). Rebuilding glibc is also recommended, especially if you use
async-io, or Squid 2.3 when it gets released.
