Disabling all timeouts is probably not a good idea, clients will never
reconnect in case of network problems.

What are you referring to with "leak"? Does the gkrellmd process consume
more memory over time or does it cause any high cpu-usage in this scenario?

Can new clients actually connect to the server or will it stop
accepting new connections?


In theory, clients blocking eachother should not happen, all
client-connections are set to non-blocking mode. I have started working
on porting gkrellmd to GIO-based networking but the code hasn't been
published yet. If you're willing to build gkrellmd yourself I can push
the current work in January so you can try out wether it improves your
situation.
