>Release:        FreeBSD 3.0-CURRENT i386
>Environment:

	FreeBSD-current as of last week
	And inn-1.5.1 port.

>Description:

	active files contains control characters within a day or such

>How-To-Repeat:

	Run inn-1.5.1 without letting actsyncd updating your active
	file. Within a day or so the active file looks like follows:

sci.math 0000000000 0000000001 y
sci.math.num-analysis 0000000000 0000000001 y

>Fix:
	
	run actsyncd on a regular basis... So the active file gets rewritten
	completely.
	1 18 * * * /usr/local/news/bin/actsyncd /usr/local/news/lib/actsync.cfg

	Possibly it's related to MMAP ?! Didn't rebuild inn without MMAP
	support.
