Maybe rather your *script* is leaking the file descriptors.  I see you
are are merrily opening new files through

        po_i = getline < farr[no]

without ever closing them again, so they accumulate.

I suggest to add the close into the EOF check following right after
the getline:

        if(po_i == 0) {
            close(farr[no]
            break
        }

(I grew up on unix systems with the "20 open files per process" limit,
so I quickly got into the habit of properly closing my files again
in awk, too.)
