Are you sure you've got enough space in /tmp? Is /tmp and MFS? If so, is its size limited, or are you giving the outside world an easy way to exhaust your swap? Also, I notice you're using 3.3-RELEASE. You should be aware that a number of problems in inetd have been fixed in 3.3-STABLE recently. None of these problems cause "crash the pc" symptoms, which I've never seen inetd do in any case. Ciao, Sheldon.
