Given the way that "make -j" behaves, I'm surprised it was only inetd that crashed. From the make(1) manpage:
-j jobs Specifies the number of jobs (commands) to run simul taneously. If there is more than one -j option, the last one is effective. If the -j option is given without an argument, make will not limit the number of jobs that can run simultaneously.
I would recommend using a number with "make -j" for a very large job. Then again, I could be wrong about the way that make behaves.
