I have the same question. Good luck receiving a response. It appears the earlier messages were sent 20 years ago. I did the same, by mistake, but am deciding to cook them to see how they come out. Mine did smell bad. Did you decide to cook and eat yours? If so, please provide on how they came out and whether or not you had a race to the ER.

You don't need to soak lentils.

Don't soak lentils or split peas.

If you soak lentils too long, they'll sprout. They don't need soaking;
they're one legume that cooks quickly without soaking.

If you soak your lentils too long, you run the risk of "shrinkage"...

Lentils shouldn't be soaked, just rinse off any schmutz with a sieve,
don't need long cooking either, maybe 30 minutes at most.

If she's been soaking her lentils for 21 years, I'd say that was too long.

Considering the original post was in 1995.
