Hello,

Thanks for the bug report. I hate to say this, but we know about
it. I have scripts to trigger the bug. Unfortunately, it is not a
simple problem to fix. Rob & I discussed fixing it back in July
before 2.3.12 was released. We decided getting 2.3.12 out the
door was more important and we would fix this bug during the
current devel cycle.

The best fix as I can determine/recall is to separate the default
log attribute so that each service gets its own copy of the
default log attribute. This way, as the services are destructed
they point to their own copy and do not mess up any other
service. This will add some memory consumption, but it will take
care of the last know xinetd bug.

Rob, does this sound like what we discussed?

BTW, cvs has been broke since August. (I see errors binding to
addresses.) I wouldn't advise anyone to run it. I have put a few
patches in it that people can pick out and hopefully apply to
2.3.12 if they need them.
