  The comment in squid.conf.default for this parameter does not indicate
 that setting it to 0 means that it can be unlimited.
 On the other hand : making it not appear ,so to speak, does cloake
 a potential issue you may be suffering from. Denial of service
 attacks for instance.
 It would be better from a security viewpoint not to cloak the problem
 but to identify it. Normal browsers(browsing) and clients can not cause this.
