Re: [squid-users] running out of filedescriptors

I was experiencing a somewhat resembling problem when I upgraded from
squid-2.5.PRE5 to squid-2.5.STABLE1 ( see my post to the list:
http://www.squid-cache.org/mail-archive/squid-users/200210/0011.html
). The error message do not look the same, but it has to do with file
descriptors, too. I did not have any high load when the problem occured
and I never had this problem with 2.5.PRE5, so I guess it is not the
problem that squid generally has too few file descriptors available,
maybe squid does not release them? The error messages start shortly
after squid was started, but it served pages normally for several hours
- and then shutdown itself.

Hints?

Thanks
Markus

 Nowhere, the question is, does SQUID now use the intended
 number of file desc's.
 (What does SQUID say on startup in cache.log ?).
