	I can't tell off-hand. The immediate problem seems to be that
ColdSync is terminating immediately. So inetd restarts it, and
ColdSync terminates immediately again, and so on, until inetd
eventually gives up and doesn't restart ColdSync again.
	There might be a configuration problem, or a missing file, or
something. Normally, ColdSync logs its problems via syslog, to
facility local0. Check the appropriate log.
	You can also invoke it as
	/usr/local/bin/coldsync -l /tmp/coldsync.log -dmisc:5 -dsync:5 -md -
which turns on more verbose logging and writes the log to /tmp/coldsync.log
