A friend running 2.2.5 has run into the problem where inetd complains on incoming connections with "inetd in realloc: warning: junk pointer too low to make sense". His system is a production telnet & mail server for his organization, and this message fouls up the protocols (ftp & pop especially), causing many problems. inetd.c doesn't even call realloc(3), though, and there's only one unchecked memory allocation, a strdup(3) near the end of the source that doesn't look like it could be related to the problem. /etc/inetd.conf is fine, as is /etc/services. This problem has been mentioned many times before but I don't see whether anyone has resolved it. Any solutions?
