i  believe  this is due to some net.exe "feature". it seems that if it
runs  out  of  console  window, it creates new console and outputs 
everything  there.  it's  can easily seen by setting "Allow Service to
interact   with   desktop"   for  inetd  service. when you run in your
telnet  or ssh session 'net start some_big_service' you'll see console
window with net.exe output popping up on your desktop.

the  following simple patch to inetd solved this problem for me. Corinna,
can you please consider it?
