Make the file immutable, presuming that your root file system is on Ext2 you
do the following:
chattr +i /etc/inittab
Now boot up and carefully look for error messages on the console. Whatever
tries to write to or delete that file will get an error return (even a root
process) and will hopefully log what it's doing.
If nothing else it'll stopp that type of activity.
