tftp-server-0.17-7.i386.rpm

xinetd reports error:
01/2/26@22:13:31 xinetd[29434]: ERROR: tftp service was deactivated 
because of looping
01/2/26@22:13:31 xinetd[29434]: WARNING: recv: Bad file descriptor (errno 
= 9)Yoy?Puy?Ypu?aoy?uGoyeoy?+Yoyooy?uyooy?

tftpd will not respond any further until xinetd is restarted.



Reproducible: Sometimes
Steps to Reproduce:
1. upgrade tftpd tftp-server-0.17-7.i386.rpm
2. enable xinetd logging via editing /etc/rc.d/init.d/xinetd script
     daemon xinetd -filelog /var/log/xinetd.log -reuse -
pidfile /var/run/xinetd.pid
3. configure tftpd via editing /etc/xinet.d/tftp
      server_args       = -cs /var/tftpd
4. upload files around 1 megabyte or above several times (let tftpd create 
file)
5. tftp responded correctly with many small files, but tftping larger 
files produced looping crash
	

Actual Results:  tftpd stops with looping errror
tftpd does not die during the file transfer though....
tftpd will not respond again until xinetd is restarted


Expected Results:  tftpd should have exited normally and waited for future 
connections

tftp package in 7.0 incorrectly specified 'wait=no' in xinetd.d/tftp.  This should be 'wait=yes'.  This has been corrected in later
package versions.  If you change only that setting, will the problem go away?
