[IRCServices] Nick Enforcer Holding Problem

Hi there, 
While we were using 5.0.31 we didn't experience any Nick Enforce problems, but when we upgraded to 5.0.36, like Bergee, we had similar problems with NickServ Enforcer holding a nick for longer than was necessary. The only difference with our situation is that Nick linking is not active in our services. 
The nicks that are caught in the Nick Enforcer are not released for a very long period of time. 
The Nick Enforcer settings in the modules.conf are as follows:
NSEnforcerUser      tutkal
#NSEnforcerUser     enforcer at localhost.net
NSForceNickChange
NSReleaseTimeout    30s
We have tested this problem on our own nicks which have been released from Nick Enforcer after 30 seconds. We have tried this out by registering a new nick, setting the Enforce option on, and still the nick was released after 30 seconds. But unfortunately some nicks are held in the Nick Enforcer for two to three hours. 
We have no idea at all as to why this is happening, and we would appreciate it if someone could shed some light on this problem, and help us. 

Thank you for all your time and assistance.
