I can confirm this. I have a machine that has been hiccuping with the out
of memory (for inetd) for several versions now. Absolutely nothing in
the logs to explain it. A crontabbed 'free' shows the machine *always* has
free memory available.

Note, In my case it complains about swap pages. Swap is never used on this
machine.

dmesg:

----
swap_duplicate: entry 0a6a0806, nonexistent swap file
swap_duplicate: entry 0a6a0806, nonexistent swap file
swap_free: Trying to free nonexistent swap-page

Out of memory for inetd.

# uname -a
Linux ns 2.2.2-ac2 #2 SMP Wed Feb 24 15:38:12 PST 1999 i586 unknown

On this machine, it normally happens once within a day or two of bootup. I
haven't seen it happen anytime other than that.
