I had a similar problem once. It was because I had the wrong hostname
entered into my smail configuration. Mail would come to my host... smail
would say "This isn't for me!" and go look for the host that the mail was
supposed to go to... then my machine would respond to a lookup request,
and smail would connect to my smtp port on my machine and send the mail to
itself... etc, etc, etc. thus loading about 5billion copies of smail
(loading from inetd.conf) and I ran out of RAM after a few hours of this.
My advice is check if you're running out of RAM... this was the _exact_
response I got (respawning too fasts and unable to load ELF
interpereter)... check your ftp configuration since that seems to be
getting called in amongst your errors.
Good luck.
