Hi Sathyan,

I am just pasting from my earlier post. By the way, which OS are you
running Squid?

You need to increase the size of _FD_SETSIZE in your
/usr/include/bits/typesizes.h file.

After increasing the above value to 8192, you type ulimit -HSn 8192 and
compile Squid.

I suggest you to upgrade to the latest version of Squid for many
benefits regarding performance among others?

Please see the links below and see if it helps.
