Hi Paul,

I think that you may need to increase the size of _FD_SETSIZE in your
/usr/include/bits/typesizes.h file.

Which OS are you running? After increasing, you type ulimit -HSn 8192
and compile Squid.

Please see the links below and see if it helps.

I have not used the --enable-fd-config compilation option yet.

Thanking you...
