Subject:   junk pointer, too low to make sense

inetd in realloc(): warning: junk pointer, too low to make sense.

That's what is currently preventing FTP to this machine, and it also
says that if someone tries to telnet in, but not for ssh so I haven't
noticed it before, dunno how long it's been happening.

>From the mail archives it looks like nobody's sure what's going on with
this one but it's fairly common. I'm too green to help but I'll try anyway.

Doug White once suggested netstat -m

# netstat -m
17 mbufs in use:
	3 mbufs allocated to data
	1 mbufs allocated to packet headers
	11 mbufs allocated to protocol control blocks
	2 mbufs allocated to socket names and addresses
0/20 mbuf clusters in use
42 Kbytes allocated to network (5% in use)
0 requests for memory denied
0 requests for memory delayed
0 calls to protocol drain routines

That looks pretty good to me, tho I don't understand it. A memory thing?
Is top any use? (It could be, because I don't understand top either :-)

# top

OK, what next?
