Though on i386 and not sparc64, I've had trouble with the process limits that
processes such as inetd receive at boot time.  For example:
	data(kbytes)         1048576
	stack(kbytes)        32
	memory(kbytes)       2054836
Which are too low even for ntpd.  IIRC, I tracked it down to a corrupted
login.conf.db.  Perhaps you have the same problem here.
