That's the behaviour I'm experiencing since I'm using xinetd.
Wild guess: Maybe after startup xinetd forks a new process which does
the aktual work and the originally started process is terminated.
Therefore the servicemanager is led to think that the service itself did
terminate.
As stated above: that is just a wild guess. If you're really want to
know what's going on, you should ask someone who does know - not me.

Is this really a problem? You can stop the service by doing
/bin/kill -TERM <PID of xinetd>
If xou installed xinetd with the '-pidfile ...' parameter you can do
/bin/kill -TERM `cat <path to the pid-file>`
