I don't know if this applies in your situation, but if xinetd is stripping SYSTEMROOT from the child process' environment, then all socket functions in that process will fail. I think recent versions of the cygwin1.dll have measures to prevent this from happening, but just for grins try adding SYSTEMROOT to the above and see if it makes any difference.
