Let me make sure I understand what you're saying here...

You're saying that since pidentd is calling fgets(), that can actually result
in multiple read() calls.  Because of this, the first half of the line
containing the address:port pairs can be with respect to one socket, and the 
second half containing the euid can be from another socket?
