This is a limitation of inetd, which passes the socket on STDIN. I had
forgotten about the inetd option and am a bit surprised that it works.
I would recommend that you simply run the FD as a daemon. It doesn't cost much
when it is waiting; is the way 99.999% of the users run it; will avoid all
the kinds of problems you are seeing; and if I were doing everything over, I
would never implement the inetd option ...
