It is not a limit on number of "sessions". It is queues inside both the
kernel and Squid getting so full of actions that need to happen that
small ~50 byte packets travelling between worker processes (running
inside the same machine!) take over 6 whole seconds to arrive.

For processes on the same machine 'whole seconds' is thousands if not
millions of times slower than it should be.

The key word is "seems". To you it seems that way. Reality is that
number you are looking at is just a side effect of how fast your CPU is.
Faster or slower CPU will have different number show up as the limit -
because they will be able to process more or less actions before delays
get longer than the timeout.

Around about 1024 (or was it 1022? or 1028? or ...) the coordinator
process and kernel are doing so much work the worker processes start
thinking they have been orphaned and self-terminate.

You can edit src/ipc/Strand.cc and change the number parameter of the line:
  setTimeout(6, "Ipc::Strand::timeoutHandler");

I would advise against making it too much different from the existing
value though.
