Okay, I think I understand what you're doing. But what I don't understand is
this: which one of these endpoints, the "server" program or the socket
client, is supposed to decide when the message or conversation or is
complete?

I think that answer, along with how you have the service configured in the
xinetd.conf file will point to a solution. Is the service flagged as
KEEPALIVE? I notice that man xinetd.conf says this:

REUSE The REUSE flag is deprecated. All services
         now implicitly use the REUSE flag.

I don't know how useful closing stdout would be. Can you shut the process
down?
