Would reheating it and bringing it to a boil reduce or eliminate any such problems?
Here's a good NT Times article on this:
Edited to add: I chose to throw out poultry stock after forgetting it overnight! Maybe I was being overcautious and maybe boiling for at least 10 minutes would have been sufficient, but I tend to worry about food safety.
I usually put the pot in the sink with ice water to help cool it faster or put into smaller containers, etc.
