tftpd run from inetd on a recently cvsupped 3.1-STABLE machine

>Description:

When using tftpd, the first connection will succeed, but then tftpd becomes  a
zombie and won't accept/process subsequent get/puts. Killing and restarting
inetd fixes this and will allow tcpd to work again, for one use.

>How-To-Repeat:

tftp localhost
put ExistingFileName
[succeeds]
put ExistingFileName
[fails]

>Fix:
	
Workaround: kill and restart inetd after each tftpd use -- painful.
kill -HUP inetd doesn't help
