BTW: You can't compare inetd/sshd operations since inetd uses
service manager operations. The inetd child isn't a real child
process but a thread which is forked by the service manager.

However, inetd operations aren't working correctly, too:

- Starting inetd by `net start inetd':
  Ok

- Starting telnet session (fork/execs in.telnetd -> fork/execs login):
  Ok

- login exec's tcsh while in.telnetd manages communication:
  Ok.

- Ctrl-D exits tcsh:
  Ok.

- Exiting tcsh causes exiting in.telnetd:
  Nope, in.telnetd remains in memory, wasting 100% CPU.

- `net stop inetd' stops inetd:
  Nope. It crashes with access violation.
