zephyr servers don't give up easily, do they?

When I'm logged in via blue-box, I sometimes get previous client's
Zephyr output sent down the serial line. However, I'm not running
zephyr. Shouldn't the zephyr server give up sending these at some
point?
[The messages are syslog messages. I think I just figured this one out,
though: if only unacked messages are sent, then they keep coming, since
the zephyr server won't care if the client gets them or not. The
solution is to send an acked message; then the zephyr server should
notice the dead client.]
