No. People are constantly confused over this issue. There is (was) a bug in inetd related to the way it handles signals, which caused it to output "junk pointer: too low to make sense" (or sometimes "too high to make sense") when under heavy load. It is not the same bug as the dying daemons bug. There have been two attemps to fix the inetd bug: one by Matt Dillon in rev. 1.42 and 1.43, and one by me (based on patches submitted by Graham Wheeler) in rev. 1.44 and 1.45. I haven't heard any complaints about the inetd bug lately, so I'll tentatively postulate that I succeeded.
