What does "it crash the pc" mean? Any messages in /var/log/messages?
Any panic message on the console?

Okay, so you're effectively offering the same service as inetd's builtin
echo service, except that you're logging what you receive to disk.
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.
