This looks like a potentially useful feature. There are a number of
problems in your patch, though:
 - unsigned/signed confusion. client_maxtime should be unsigned
everywhere, not just in some places.
 - the check for whether to disconnect should probably be in
send_to_listener, rather than directly cluttering source_main.
 - The formatting is messed up, inconsistent with the style of the
rest of the code, and has several excessively long lines.

If you could clean up those issues and send us another patch, then
(assuming others agree that this looks useful), we'd be happy to
include it.
