identd not closing the connection

Hey

I have some problems with both identd and cidentd.

When I need them a lot, like when delivering over 30 remote email-messages
at the same time, I get errors: inetd[6008]: auth/tcp server failing
(looping), service terminated.

The resuls of such things, is that, even days after that happens, netstat
-te gives me CLOSE_WAIT state on identd-connections. And I can't get them
away.

Is there any solution to get rid of them?

thanks
