I experienced something similar some time ago when one of my users
tried to download a file from a very busy server using the GoZilla
download manager. (See my thread "GoZilla vs. Squid".) This left a
lot of transfers running in parallel. If this ever happens again,
look on the "Process Filedescriptor Allocation" page of cachemgr.cgi
to see what Squid is doing.
