I made some fixes to the patch, thanks to Jeroen and others who pointed
the bugs:

 - fp is *FILE not int
 - put the fp declaration into braces to be compliant with pre-c99 compilers
 - replacing fprintf with syslog, since writing to stderr has no effect
 - the macro should be PATH_INETDPID rather than PATH_INETPID for consistency
