Let me see if I can clear this up!

This is a result of an error-messaging bug in the 2.6.0.  Basically,
config error messages go to stderr, which xinetd routes to the server.
 The bug has been fixed in trunk, but on double-checking, it hasn't
been fixed in the 2.6.0 branch.  I'll take care of that before the
next patch release.

Your fix -- touching the file -- should be adequate until then.
