Hi Radek -

I would find it a nice explanation if it is a bug, because my
understanding of how the  sockets work will not allow this scenario of a
single process binding two sockets to the same port and listen()-ing to
both.  Of course my understanding can easily be broken and often is ;-)

Here's an idea for Mark, run lsof -n | grep xinetd and see if you can
see two IPv4 sockets open in there or one.  It's another way to look at
the question of how many sockets are open and by whom.  Here's what I
get with tftp up in xinetd

[root at server root]# lsof -n | grep xinetd
xinetd     3674    root  cwd       DIR      253,0       4096          2 /
