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.
