I'm with you Rob...my patch would address the BSD vs. X/Open semantics, but 
its still deprecated.  So this again highlights the real problem:  
non-deprecated sigsuspend() was replaced with deprecated sigpause() (and 
lot's of other changes as Rob has pointed out), and there was no proper BSD 
vs. X/Open semantics usage considerations.

In my opinion--and I mean no disrespect to the developers who made the 
slackware changes and patches since--revert the whole thing, add the two-line 
fix that Rob has alluded to before, and take the slackware porting off and 
put it on a branch until people can work out these issues, because at this 
point, the slackware inetd.c doesn't appear ready for public consumption in 
this busybox environment.
