Sorry about the previous reply, I hit return too quickly.

Yes, you are correct, this is a bug introduced by V5.3 ECO 1.  Some race
condition was causing the socket handoff from the inet daemon
(TCPIP$INET_ACP) to the created service process to fail.  I first saw
it using SWAT, which creates a number of service processes very quickly
as your browser requests the .GIF files for the initial page.  This
bug is listed as fixed in V5.3 ECO 2, and it HAS been fixed as far as
I can see from my initial testing.
