i believe this is due to some net.exe "feature". it seems that if it
runs out of console window, it creates new console and outputs 
everything there. it's can easily seen by setting "Allow Service to
interact with desktop" for inetd service. when you run in your
telnet or ssh session 'net start some_big_service' you'll see console
window with net.exe output popping up on your desktop.
the following simple patch to inetd solved this problem for me. Corinna,
can you please consider it?
