That was precisely the problem.

Seems a bit odd, though. Here am I, a theoretical program running a denial 
of service attack on your server. If I launch enough requests, inetd is 
going to close the socket, thereby making the service permanently 
unavailable. Doesn't that mean that I win?

Anyway, my script is no longer killing the service. Many thanks.
