   An update that has four recommended fixes can now be
   installed.

Description:

   This update for xinetd provides the following fixes:

   - Specifying multiple log targets in the configuration caused a crash in
     xinetd, so make sure this is not allowed and in case of misconfiguration
     handle it correctly. (bsc#1054532)
   - Fix a race condition that was causing xinetd not to be running after
     receiving a SIGHUP and a call to bind() failing with error EADDRINUSE.
     The fix exposes a sysconfig variable named XINETD_BIND_DELAY that can be
     used to delay calls to bind(). (bsc#972691)
   - Fix an error that was causing a failure in xinetd when trying to
     fallback from IPv6 to IPv4. (bsc#947475)
   - Update the documentation about the maximum allowed size of server
     parameters. (bsc#943484)
