     Hello,

     I expect saned is exposing a bug in the genesys backend for the 
settings you use, surely some issue with the amount of bytes to send. I 
remember fixing such a bug for lide100/200 after 1.0.22 release, but 
this may be another one. Test with emulated lineart disabled.
     Using a wrapper script (redirecting stderr to file) could be 
enough, and telling xinetd to use it instead of the current program.

Regards,
     Stef
