Yes, sorry, bincimap loads very fast indeed, I've definitely narrowed it down to xinetd, because tcpserver does not do it. I'll look into those two things you listed, but I do not see the hanging under tcpserver like I did under xinetd. =)
This was perhaps the wrong place to post, but I thought someone else might have had the same problem. Thanks for the help, the suggestion of tcpserver seems to have fixed it! (btw, anyone trying to compile tcpserver, and getting errno errors, you must add #include <errno.h> wherever extern int errno is used. I think that's right, recalling it from my faulty memory here.)
