Public bug reported:

After repeatedly using nitrogen to set my background picture, the X11
server ceases to accept new connections.

xlib reports "Maximum number of clients reached".

nitrogen does not show up in ps or xlsclients.

xlsclients reports only 18 clients.

I filed it under xorg because even though nitrogen triggers the problem,
it seems that the actual problem is a resource leak in the X11 server.
