See your inetd documentation -- when there are "too many" request for a
service in "too short" a time, inetd decides there's something wrong and
shuts down that service temporarily to avoid swamping the machine with
server processes. There is always a way to adjust this behavior, but
the specifics vary wildly between different inetd implementations.
