[squid-users] proxy crashes...filedescriptors problem

hi all

I'm running Squid Cache: Version 2.4.STABLE6
on Linux version 2.4.20-28.7smp Red Hat Linux 7.3 2.96-126

on an Intel platform, with 1Gb RAM

ANhour ago my server crashed and now when I restart squid, i get the ff
mesgs (note that squid is running...but i suspect it is running slower
that before crash)

In cache.log i get ff mesgs :-
