Three weeks ago, I, and a few other INN administrators, posted about FreeBSD -STABLE's inability to run the newest INN code, due to MMAP() race conditions...essentially, after X hours of run time, on a heavily loaded INN server, the whole thing locks up solid. At that time, Matt pop'd up and sta

Due to heavy usage of MMAP() in the newest INN's, 3.2-STABLE is unable to handle the load of a full news server :( The last I heard, Matt Dillon knew about and was planning on working on ~6 MMAP() related race conditions...with the latest decision by "the Core" concerning his commit privileges,
