You need to set the soft limit before building Squid (which you seem
to have done as configure found the new limit) and then the hard
limit before you start Squid.

Squid automatically sets the soft limit equal to the hard limit on
startup in order to gain the highest allowed limit. However, root is
allowed to artificially raise his soft limit above his hard limit
which is counter-productive when using Squid.
