Oops, I got confused. I shouldn't work late. I'll experiment again
tonight. But you raise another issue that has been in the back of my
mind: why does inetd behave as a service (survives logouts, except when
launched under rxvt) even though it doesn't call RegisterServiceProcess() ?

Yes. It's that message that triggered my suggestion. Coincidentally
a few days earlier I had added a call to RegisterServiceProcess()
(from setsid) in exim.
