squid-2.5.4_6 warning: port must be >1024

It seems squid can no longer bind to ports <1024 (as of 2.5.4_6). I've
been binding to port 85 for ~2 years, and all of a sudden today my squid
started crashing immediately after upgrading.

I was getting this in my cache.log:
2004/01/16 23:52:43| commBind: Cannot bind socket FD 10 to 127.0.0.1:85:
(13) Permission denied

Anyhow, as soon as I changed the port to 8585, it started working again.
So if you're experiencing problems with the new squid, double-check your
port to be >1024.

Hope this helps someone. :)
