>Description:
In production, we are making several connection attempts to do AOL 
polling.  Some are getting a failure to connect (actually, a 
significant number are).  Since we have noticed this behavior (a bug 
on our end), we have also noticed that natd memory leaks, actually 
pretty significantly.

We're pulling ~50k connections/hour.  It takes ~16 hours for the 
daemon to leak enough that the network dies on the machine, until 
you restart natd.
>How-To-Repeat:
Set up natd.

from an internal machine, make several network connections that get 
dropped on the remote end (not denied, but connection timeouts)


>Fix:
None at this time.
