Description Dmitry V. Levin 2002-12-28 21:43:33 MSK 
There are situations when xinetd starts leaking descriptors for spawned children. The problem exists since version 2.3.8 and still not fixed in xinetd-20021209.

Here\'s a link to the e-mail that I posted to the group
when I discovered the cause of the leaked descriptors:
<a href="http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=xinetd&amp;m=103767881425253&amp;w=2">http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=xinetd&amp;m=103767881425253&amp;w=2</a>

And here\'s a link to an e-mail where someone else
explained what he discovered about the descriptors
being mixed up:
<a href="http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=xinetd&amp;m=103893604709367&amp;w=2">http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=xinetd&amp;m=103893604709367&amp;w=2</a>

And here\'s a test script he supplied:
<a href="http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=xinetd&amp;m=103893602009155&amp;w=2">http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=xinetd&amp;m=103893602009155&amp;w=2</a>
