more specifically, this is what I get when telnetting to my machine
(compiled -g -static):

bash-2.02$ telnet 192.195.231.212
Trying 192.195.231.212...
Connected to pm106-10.dialip.mich.net.
Escape character is '^]'.
inetd in realloc(): warning: junk pointer, too low to make sense.
inetd in free(): warning: junk pointer, too low to make sense.
Connection closed by foreign host.

then the inetd child dies with a segfault.

i'll try adding some code to pause when forking, or some printfs to see
where this is crashing, hopefully this weekend, but i'm imagining its
going to be the same symptoms as my samba crashes (where a pointer is
suddenly zeroed out)

either way this looks like a kernel space issue, and that's out of my
range of comprehension for the moment (especially the vm subsystem :))

it seems correlated with swap/memory usage, as i started wordperfect
and gimp before it died.  however, i didn't run out of swap space. (it
is hovering around 60% per my previous message)

enjoy
