This is a problem also on IRIX 6.5. The machine doesn't crash but
inetd dies after one or two SYN scans. I talked to SGI about it
and they recommended turning off the tcpmux and echo ports in
/etc/inetd.conf, which indeed fixed the problem.
The bug is fixed in IRIX 6.5.2, according to SGI, and I've been
unable to kill inetd on an O2 running 6.5.2 using nmap.
