PostScript of sorts. I cannot get it to restart even with the
re-install, that only made the restart of xinetd clean in the
messages log. I've even run an amcheck, which did not report any
errors, without restarting it. YMMV of course. In my case, we'll
find out when amdump runs in the wee hours I guess.
