4.3 inetd bug

 The expression and assignment on line 411 of src/etc/inetd.c of 4.3
 results in an ambiguous assignment. 

	sep->se_wait = strcmp(arg, "wait") == 0;

 The result is that specifications for inetd to wait for daemons fail
 with certain compilers and on various machine architectures, always
 assigning sep->se_wait to be 0.
