There was a bug in certain versions of inetd whereby the output
went to the $STDLIST of the job, not back to the socket. Here is
what I needed to do in cvs to make it work under inetd (this should
work for both the buggy version and the fixed version):

#ifdef __hp3000s900
            /* Hack for bug in MPE's inetd. Make sure stdout refers to the
             * socket.
             */
            close (STDOUT_FILENO);
            dup2  (STDIN_FILENO, STDOUT_FILENO);
#endif
