Thats most likely half closed client connections. Unless you disable
half closed clients, aborted client connections on stalled server
connections will stay in CLOSE_WAIT until the server connection times
out (which could be something like 15 minutes later).

Try
half_closed_clients off

If you continue to get sockets seemingly stuck in CLOSE_WAIT then there
is a problem in Squid somewhere.
