They should be considered mostly harmless, though it would be better if 
they were terminated properly.

The TCP conntrack timeouts are in 
linux/net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_conntrack_proto_tcp.c, in an array 
appropriately named "tcp_timeouts[]". 

The ones you're probably interested in are FIN_WAIT, TIME_WAIT and 
CLOSE_WAIT. Try increasing them a little and see if it helps (though 2 
minutes is pretty generous as it is).
