This means it uses some system defaults. And for a Squid this usually
isn't enough file descriptors(except you use it at home).

Are you using Debian or some derivative like Ubuntu? If so there should
be a configuration file named /etc/default/squid. There you should set
the value of SQUID_MAXFD to a higher value. I don't know if there is
something comparable for other distros.

Otherwise you can set the "ulimit" in Squids startup script like William
described it:

ulimit -n HIGHER_VALUE
