I faintly recall seeing this once or twice before, but I can't recall
what the exact issue was.

As it's related to xinet.d the first stop ought to be a check of the
/etc/xinetd.d/ directory. See if there are any files in there that are
of 0 byte length, which would indicate that they are missing content.
Such as the "proftpd" and "proftpds" config files in there.

Next I'd probably rotate files out of that directory one by one, restart
xinetd and see if that changes anything.

If you send a support request via the GUI (be sure to tick the checkbox
"Allow access"), I can take a look at it.
