This has been occurring for almost a week -- of a sudden, I get a few
hundred of these:
  Oct  9 12:30:22 avalon /kernel: pid 756 (inetd), uid 0: exited on signal 11
  Oct  9 12:30:22 avalon /kernel: pid 757 (inetd), uid 0: exited on signal 11
  Oct  9 12:30:22 avalon /kernel: pid 758 (inetd), uid 0: exited on signal 11
  Oct  9 12:30:22 avalon /kernel: pid 759 (inetd), uid 0: exited on signal 11
This particular instance is from a Wed 7 Oct  1:32
cvsup/buildworld/kernel in an ELF/SMP world.

It seems to relate to 
alk    10629  0.0 29.7 119272 18652  v0  I     7:56PM  18:07.71 netscape-4.0.7
memory leaks in other things.  But there's more to the story than
that, because I just killed that netscape, and with
  12:50PM  up 2 days, 11:10, 4 users, load averages: 0.31, 0.22, 0.13
  Virtual: 67504K; Resident: 14331K (37.9% of available)
  Swap: /dev/sd0s1b 131072 28692 102252 22% Interleaved
I subsequently got a few hundred more:
  Oct  9 12:50:20 avalon /kernel: pid 1137 (inetd), uid 0: exited on signal 11
  Oct  9 12:50:20 avalon /kernel: pid 1138 (inetd), uid 0: exited on signal 11
  Oct  9 12:50:20 avalon /kernel: pid 1139 (inetd), uid 0: exited on signal 11
  Oct  9 12:50:20 avalon /kernel: pid 1140 (inetd), uid 0: exited 
  Oct  9 12:50:20 avalon /kernel: pid 1141 (inetd), uid 0: exited on signal 11
I hazard that this also illustrates a problem with the syslog facility not 
quite cutting it under stress.

A lonely laggard just came in:
  Oct  9 12:53:40 avalon /kernel: pid 1171 (inetd), uid 0: exited on signal 11
Something funny about comsat?
