[squid-users] TCP: too many of orphaned sockets

Hello, I know this isn't specifically a squid thing, but I think it
might be semi-related.

I've currently got a Dell 6850 (16gb ram, 16 logical processors)
server set up, based on the 'one frontend, two backends' example on
squid-cache.org. Everything will be fine, but once the cache starts
getting 170+ inbound hits/sec, I get this in dmesg, and the load
shoots up on the server, causing squid to grind to a halt.

Any ideas on what I can do to alleviate this?
