effect of lower store_avg_obj_size setting

Why does reducing the size of the lower store_avg_obj_size setting
get rid of the error "FATAL: file_map_allocate: Exceeded filemap limit".

I would think that if you have enough cache (100MB) you still have
7700 objects to use with the default of 13K store_avg_size.

Doesn't squid clean up its old entries when it starts to get full.

I would think having less available objects would just make your
caching less efficient.

I guess I just want to know if I reduce the size of the store_avg_size
paramater the same error message isn't going to come back.

BTW can I safely delete the store.log file.

thanks,
