After upgrading to mIRC 7.1, identd appears to hang the entire client for around 5 seconds when listening. It also briefly hangs when the socket is closed.

This running on a fairly fresh install of Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit (less than a week old). I should mention that I have VitualBox installed (with its virtual networking adapters) and am using OpenSSL 0.9.8o.

I have attemped to disable the virtual adapter as well as IPv6, but this does not appear to help. I have also tried with the Windows firewall turned off. Note that identd does appear to listen successfully - it appears in netstat, and can respond to requests, but the "Enable only when connecting" option would need to be disabled to be effective for IRC.
