I've seen this before, on a 2.2.6 system.  IIRC, the answer from
Jordan was that there was a subtle but in inetd (or triggered by
inetd) which caused this sort of memory problem.  I don't recall
whether killing and restarting inetd was enough to "fix" it or if
it required a reboot.

I'm fairly certain that it didn't represent a security problem.
