You will need to add this yourself, but first, also check the file
/usr/include/bits/typesizes.h. On some systems, such as Slackware, this
setting is already present with some default value (usually 1024). It
should look like this:

#define __FD_SETSIZE 8192

Make sure to set this before starting squid. The best place is probably
the service startup script (/etc/init.d/squid or /etc/rc.d/rc.squid etc.),
just before the daemon starts.
