From what I remember the limit comes from a Visual Studio crt
limitation. But I only have vague memory of what Guido have said many
years ago.

the source for the Visual Studio crt is available I think and can be
rebuilt.

MinGW is a native build using GNU toolchain.

Visual Studio is a native build ising Microsoft toolchain.

The result of both is similar native Windows appliacations.

Cygwin is POSIX emulated build using a GNU toolchain, heavily relying on
the cygwin dll för providing POSIX like functionality. Not needed for
Squid as it has native Windows support.

Upgrade. Squid-2 is very near end of life.

Squid-3 needs more windows knowing people looking at it, and anything
you can contribute there will be of help.
