I thought I had reported a similar problem before but cannot find it, anyways...

When I fire off any number of simultaneous connections through
polipo (say 50-250++) it often stacks up open file descriptors
on network connections and never closes them down again.
Even when whatever the the apps I spawned off (wget) have
long since exited, polipo still holds out the list. This blocks
further use when it happens. A kill and restart are needed.

This occurs on the client side, not the server side.

For instance, I've got a thousand stacked and locked connections
in one sockstat output. I will try to instrument packet cap and netstat
when I can.

# socksProxyType=socks5 logLevel=0xFF
# clientTimeout=190 serverIdleTimeout=180 serverTimeout=180

These don't seem to do or say anything useful about it.
I do not see a client idle timeout setting, for which you indicate
a possible presence and action...
