Squid automatically uses the higher value, except on platforms where it
is known that increasing FD_SETSIZE at compiletime is not fully
supported. Mac OS X seems to be one of those platforms. See the first
screenfuls of src/squid.h

Maybe the FD_SETSIZE value can be increased in the same way as on Linux
GLIBC: Edit the system header file definition. Usually in
/usr/include/sys/types.h or a similar file.
