If I fork an app and push thousands of connections
through polipo with the app configured
to use it as a http proxy, and the socks5
host that polipo is supposed to be talking
to is down, polipo stacks up those thousands
of connections in the open file table and
jams up the system. And they don't go
away after the app has long since exited.
Nor does a kill -usr2 clear them. I didn't
test what happens when the host comes
back up as that is a non-solution.

Shouldn't these connections have a settable
timeout period?

using ver of 20110802...
polipo socksParentProxy=127.0.0.1:9050 socksProxyType=socks5
clientTimeout=190 serverIdleTimeout=180 serverTimeout=180
logLevel=0xFF
