What other people with problems starting these service can try is to
add a dependency to another service as e.g. tcpip.  This could
positively influence the load order of the services.  Perhaps they are
just started too early.

Inetd has been ported many moons before cygrunsrv came to existence.
So it has the NT service handling code builtin.

It's a good question, though.  I'm not quite sure if we shouldn't
better revert these NT service stuff from inetd and use cygrunsrv
to start it.  It's way cleaner a solution.
