Because afaik tftp has a really terrible client/server notion,
there's no good way to tell if a client has 'gone away'. Without
the timeout, if a client was to disappear the tftpd server would
hang around forever.

You should probably be able to fix this by changing the value of
"TIMEOUT" in /usr/src/libexec/tftpd/tftpd.c, then doing this in
/usr/src/libexec/tftpd:
make ; make install
