We installed a 2.1.7 machine straight from the ftp server, and loaded
the package of INN from there as well. We set it up as our company's
internal and external news server.
INN regularly complained when trying to install cross-posted articles,
saying the the attempt to make the like failed as the target already
existed.
The INN FAQ said that error is frequently due to a mis-behaving mmap()
implementation. We rebuilt INN to not use mmap() and the problem indeed
went away.
I'm left with a couple of questions.
1) Shouldn't the port/package for the 2.1.x tree not use mmap(), if
it doesn't behave the way INN expects?
2) Is the 2.1 mmap() broken, or is there just a misunderstanding
between the implementation and INN's expectations?
3) Has mmap() been changed in 2.2 or 3.0? If so, are the changes
slated to be rolled into the RELENG_2_1_0 tree?
