There's a bug in inetd.  It seems to be related to running low on
swap, but I haven't been able to pinpoint it yet.  You don't need to
recompile inetd, just restarting it will clear up the problem.

If anybody has this problem, please contact me *before* restarting
it.  I'd really like to find out where it happens.
