Hello,

On a busy server (i386), identd often seems to enter a while(1); loop.
Long time ago, I was told that this happens because the kernel structures
change while identd is reading them.  Is there a fix for this (I'm getting
tired of killing identd processes day and night) or should I simply patch
the source to set the CPU usage limit to 5 seconds or so and make the
system kill the run-away identd's automatically?

The problem exists under NetBSD 1.3.3, at least, but somehow I think it
hasn't been addressed in -current... ;)
