It is better to configure this timeout in nslcd. You could use the
idle_timelimit option for that. Having the server close the connection
will confuse the client.

I'm a bit reluctant to change this because if this is filtered out, it
could also quietly ignore real connection problems to the LDAP server.
Especially in the phase nss-ldapd is now with testing I think it's
better to have these log messages.

I'm changing the severity of this bug to wishlist and I don't think I'll
change this soon unless you can come up with a very good reason.
