Anyone got Squid server working in AIX?

    I'm trying to get a Squid proxy set up on my NIM servers to allow it to do a lot more;  NIM is currently my yum repo too, it makes sense to me to forward a lot of traffic through these hosts.

    Currently the only need for Squid is to mirror .pypi.org, and likely .ibm.com to allow for downloads as needed.

    However, I cannot get it to start.

    In squid_cache.log I'm getting errors like the following.  I've set ulimits to unlimited across the board, and that very large number (18446744073709551615) honestly looks like a cpp allocation of (-1), but, I may be mistaken

    Any ideas on where to start looking?  Cheers.
