max filedescriptor on linux

Hi folks,
I'm running out of FD's on our system, so i tried to compile squid
with 2048 FD's max. Building the program was fine, but after starting
squid, the cache.log says :
2000/02/14 21:30:19| Starting Squid Cache version 2.3.STABLE1 for
i686-pc-linux-gnu...
2000/02/14 21:30:19| Process ID 17800
2000/02/14 21:30:19| With 1024 file descriptors available
                     ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

The parameters in :
autoconf.h:#define DEFAULT_FD_SETSIZE 2048
autoconf.h:#define SQUID_MAXFD 2048

in /usr/include/bits/types.h FD_SETSIZE 2048

I also had ulimit -Hn 2048
System is Linux 2.2.13 (SUSE 6.3 Dist.)

What's wrong ???
