We've noticed hard failures on both our Linux and Mac workstations when an LDAP server fails in a way which causes it to stop responding but leave a connection open (e.g. lock contention, disk failure). This usually ends up requiring the system to be rebooted because a key system process will probably have made a call which is waiting on a read() which might take days to fail.

If this is the one I'm thinking of, there is a new client timeout implemented in 2.4.8.
