I don't know if a "me too" is at all helpful. I see the same behaviour
on our system, running cfd 1.6.2 (I know I should upgrade) on Tru64 UNIX
4.0F.

I think it's not so much related to the length of time it runs, as how
many connections cfd has to service. The interval between the problem
occurring gets shorter as we add more cfengine clients to the network.

Killing cfd and restarting it does always fix it for a while.
