Yeah. I forgot to mention that out of the box 1.1.7 falls over compiling
acl.c with a parse error in squid.h. Didn't look at it. Just a #elsif in
there which it didn't like. Just commented it out (didn't do anything for
FreeBSD) and it seems to compile.

1.1.6 picked up my max open files correctly as 680. However, 1.1.7 reckons
on 256. I've actually bumped it up to 4096, so it's completely off.

Anyway, I didn't hold out much hope for 1.1.7 as all 1.1.x versions I've
tried exhibit this behaviour. Same problem.

Here's a log. Pulled up www.freebsd.org hoem page no problem. Click on
support and it tells me the host doesn't exist.
