I've just read that some sites are reporting that using satan in its "heavy"
mode will overload an inetd and make it toss its cookies.

There are reports that the activity also causes some firewall products to
consume available memory and discontinue logging some things.

We probably need to double check our inetd and make sure it can deal with
the resource overload issue.
