I recently had a similar problem. I killed bash belonging to a remote
login with signal 11. I switched back to inetd (from xinetd) soon after
that.

After enabling inetd, I found that nobody could login - no banner or
anything; just a 'connection refused' message. The logs showed "Address
already in use".

It still remains a mystery, but a reboot fixed the problem.

HTH.
