I have patched the file as documented, and recompiled with the 3.3.8 branch

Amos, I don't understand how you deduced the 990 open FD from the error
messages above ( "adjusted from 100 to 15394")?  I would have deduced that
there was some internal limit of 100 (not 1000) FD's, and that squid was
re-adjusting to the maximum currently allowed (16K)?  Where is my logic
wrong, or what other information led to your conclusion?  It is important
for me to understand, as I think I have addressed the maximum file
descriptors:

/etc/security/limits.conf includes:
#       - Increase file descriptor limits for Squid
*               soft    nofile          65536
*               hard    nofile          65536
root            soft    nofile          65536
root            hard    nofile          65536

/etc/pam.d/common-session* includes:
# Squid requires this change to increase limit of file descriptors
session required        pam_limits.so

After a reboot, if I login as root or squid, "ulimit -Sn" gives 65536

I included the following options to my squid ./configure script:
./configure  \
  --prefix=/usr \
  --localstatedir=/var \
  --libexecdir=${prefix}/lib/squid \
  --srcdir=. \
  --datadir=${prefix}/share/squid \
  --sysconfdir=/etc/squid \
  --with-default-user=proxy \
  --with-logdir=/var/log \
  --with-pidfile=/var/run/squid.pid \
  --enable-snmp \
  --enable-storeio=aufs,ufs \
  --enable-async-io \
  --with-maxfd=65536 \
  --with-filedescriptors=65536 \
  --enable-linux-netfilter \
  --enable-wccpv2

Here is the output of mgr:info a short while after starting up again:

Can anyone see any problems, before I expand the affected ip ranges to allow
the full client load?
