If I get this correctly, all I have to do is to change the entry in TYPES.H to 4096 or greater, recompile squid, make sure that when squid is run the process has at least 4096 file descriptors and all should be fine... Right?

Be aware that no matter how many FDs that are available on the
production system, if you compiled squid on a system that has only 1024
FDs then that will be what it will compile with.

I ran into this problem at another site where our dev system only had
1024 FDs and I had to hack types.h (as Brian suggests) to set it to 4096
for some of our systems.

You should also remember that unless squid is compiled with
--enable-poll it will use select() which is restricted to 1024 FDs.
Recent squid versions all use poll() by default.

Perhaps it is time to suggest that there be a configure option
--with-filedes=nn so that we don't have to hack types.h?
