>Description:
	After a while inetd refuses to accept new connections and also starts
	printing this to syslog:

May 22 09:52:42 galley inetd[116]: select: Bad file descriptor


>How-To-Repeat:
	Boot and wait then try to connect to your machine.
>Fix:
	Kill and restart inetd fixes it short term, a more reliable
	fix is required however please! I've seen this on sparc and
	i386 ports.
