That's not a bug; when programs are run from a shell the path to the 
executable is passed as the first argument; when called from inetd 
you have to add this yourself.

Qpopper can do either STLS or alternate port, you just tell it which 
you want.  You can do both by having one instance on each port.  Many 
of those clients can also do either STLS or alternate-port, you just 
have to say which it should do.
