1) what does s_poll_wait timeout mean..

It means that a time limit was exceeded while waiting for a set of events (e.g. new data available) on a set of sockets.

2) Is this error points to connection between ( client & stunnel ) or ( stunnel & inetd )

Both, i.e. there was no data transfer on either socket.

BTW: I would use "exec" + "execargs" instead of "connect" and inetd.

3) Was stunnel reseting connections b'se of timeout or mere reporting ( logging ) the lost connectivity.

It's stunnel reporting timeout and resetting connections.

BTW: You are right. I will redesign timeout messages to be more meaningful.
