We're running BSD/OS 2.0.1 with the bundled identd.  Periodically an
identd process doesn't die.  This usually results in some more of them
not dying shortly thereafter, which puts a very high load on the system.
When we were running BSDI 1.1 I installed identd for a short time and
had the same problem.  Currently I have killer process snuffing these
things every five minutes.  Is there a patch available for this?
