After this any subsequent file copies(even valid files) to the server was failing.

Conditions

configure tftp server and trigger a tftp copy of file from client to server. Condition to hit: 1) copy a file1 from client to server 2) copy file1 again from client to server -- TFTP server errors saying the file already exists. 3) copy file1 again from client to server -- The copy gets stuck and timesout . After this any copy of valid file from client to server fails as no data is read from UDP queue.

Workaround

restart cinetd process.
