Oh, right. Anything I can try while it's still wedged? I tried attaching
gdb to the process, but it didn't seem very helpful:
Attaching to program: /usr/sbin/inetd, process 299
0x0000000040b46b1c in ?? ()
(gdb) bt
#0 0x0000000040b46b1c in ?? ()
Error accessing memory address 0xffffffffffffcea8: Bad address.
