Sounds strange. Normally there should no CPU time limit for the daemon
processes. Please check login class "daemon" in "/etc/login.conf". The
corresponding entry should be ":cputime=infinity:". If nothings works
insert the line

ulimit -t unlimited

at the beginning of your "/etc/rc" file.

But before doing that ypu should ask yourself how "inetd" has been started
before. May be someone knowing the root password started "inetd" manually
after problems from a shell with a CPU time limit set? Ok, the pid is
small, so that's unlikely, but ...
