How many? Is those connections all idle and Squid continues to open new connections? A possible reason is if the ICAP server is not finishing the ICAP responses properly. Squid then waits for more data and can not reuse the connection on next request. You can also try "icap_persistent_connections off", but this will only make Squid close idle ICAP connections immediately while still needing the same amount of connections when under load (traffic dependent) and is not recommended.
