I've noticed the proxy stops before the app closes, though it remains in the 
notification area.  I'll lose connectivity and look over a moment before the 
app closes.  bringing the app back to the foreground restores the connection.

no links actually drop.  I do not need to restart adb nor does the proxoid 
checkbox deactivate.  proxoid just drops into the background for no apparent 
reason and data transfer halts.

It's not the backgrounding thats killing the proxy.

Proxoid's request loop inadventently opens too many file descriptors and the 
app gets shut down. The OS's select() facility OS has a bug and doesn't 
automatically reclaim the fd's it creates and eventually Proxoid stops handling 
requests.

The OS bug should be fixed in android 2.3. You can install Supermind's 
"SuperProxoid" in the meantime, which implements a workaround that uses 
select() differently
