Are you running out of swap space, and are you using deferred swap
allocation mode? If so, the kernel will kill random processes to make
room for new ones. Maybe that is what is happening.
Check /var/adm/messages for out of swap messages.

If you have 'lazy swap' configured and the system runs out of swap
space for a job, it will kill what it thinks is the most idle job
to release its swap space. Unfortunately it doesnt care whether
its a system job or not. inetd and xdm are often candidates.
Its happens to me from time to time. I must get round to increasing
my swap space.
Cheers,
