80K FD are available to Squid.

The rest gets strange..

FD numbers 0-6157 are being used for 8216 concurrent connections.

Sounds impossible? not with SMP workers. The 6K is really 0-6157
per-worker. So 6-12K FDs in use, and ~8K fits right in there.

Its a minor bug in the report display that they are not having more
columns with separate numbers for each worker.
