Look like I'm seeing the same thing here. :) Squid now report ~540 fds
inuse but 'ls /proc/<squid id>/fd | wc -l' report ~2970. Response time is
terrible (refresh cachemgr.cgi takes 7-10 secs).

As of now squid report 2979 as the largest file desc currently in use.
I'll see if it ever reach 3000 and if squid would die.

I'm running squid-1.2beta2[02] on Linux 2.0.34+3000fd patch
PII 300Mhz, 384MB Ram, squid now use ~280MB.
