I would encourage you to help track this down so that you
can move to 2.3.12+patches. Seriously, look at the
changelog in 2.3.12 and wonder how exposed your system
might be. Admittedly some problems were introduced in later
versions, but 2.3.3 has problems. During the 2.3.6 cycle, I
fixed many vulnerabilities and did not document them. I
purposely did not document some so that hackers would have
to find them on their own.

I have another report on a SUN machine that also crashes on
reload occasionally. Since its a SUN machine he can't run
valgrind. I was hoping you had the hints that finally
showed the problem.

If nothing else, please send me your xinetd.conf file and
xinetd.d directory. I can run more tests here to see if its
reproduceable. You can send it to me directly or the mail
list.

Thanks,
Steve Grubb
