Summation:
amandaidx is looping and looping and looping until xinetd can't take it any
more and kills it.
After a fresh restart of xinetd, nmap reveals:
[root@slaw amanda]# nmap slaw.unterlaw.com
Starting nmap V. 2.54BETA22 ( www.insecure.org/nmap/ )
Interesting ports on slaw.unterlaw.com (10.1.7.23):
(The 1537 ports scanned but not shown below are in state: closed)
Port State Service
22/tcp open ssh
111/tcp open sunrpc
224/tcp open unknown
10082/tcp open amandaidx
10083/tcp open amidxtape
Look at that happy little amandaidx service just waiting to be used!!! :-)
But if I try to use it (i.e. amrecover uadaily), /var/log/messages says:

Jun 3 14:42:28 slaw xinetd[1792]: amandaidx service was deactivated because
of looping
And I have 8 little amindexd*debug files for each of these little looping
processes that say:
amindexd: debug 1 pid 1861 ruid 502 euid 502 start time Mon Jun 3 14:44:35

amindexd: version 2.4.2p2
Ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww....
