Quick question from non-iptables person:

open(IPTABLES, "-|", "/sbin/iptables -L cust_acct -n -v -x");

Why do you call that twice?

Things to try, anyway:

- If it's inetd, I guess it just dups your stdout to its accepted
 socket. Or does it feed it by readin your stdout. In any case,
 you might be beuffering, so that might be worth sorting.

- Does this happen if you run it outside of inetd?

- Any chance you can keep a running total of the data incoming from the
 socket and print it at the end of the error message. That might give
 some clue, if it's a "round" number.

- -w, as said.

I'll think some more.
