I've now figured out that it must be the infamous dying daemons
bug that is biting me, and pretty bad.  Inetd won't run more than
a day without falling over.  Sendmail and apache last longer, but
not a lot.

So, to date, what is known about the bug?

Are there people running 3.0/Current that have not encountered
this bug?

Are there any known factors in a system configuration that
aggrivate the problem?  More to the point, is there anything
known to suppress the problem to any degree?  Some say it was
present in 2.2.x, but I never encountered it.
