NSClient hangs randomly

[Pete Dewell]

Try changing the port on which nsclient works. This is a problem with 
Exchange - it tends to pinch the 1248 port. I found that changing the 
port to 2323 tends to stop this happening.

Occasionally though it appears that the service hangs.  All requests timeout both via the console and via the command line.  I have tried increasing the timeout value to 30 and even 60 seconds, but once the service appears to hang it will not return any results.  Stopping and restarting the service clears everything up until the next hang.  This is occurring as frequently as a few times a day, but not every day.  When NSClient is not returning anything I can telnet to port 1248:
