I ran into this just this morning for the first time in four months... hadn't been having that problem. I just recovered the active.old file and fixed it. It appeared to be just a small region of the active file that had gone to hell. I still have the file if anybody cares. The sharedactive stuff seems to work fine. The only other change I typically make is to enable keepalive's on nnrp sessions. I'd really like a way to do this on a "sitewide" basis :-/ ...
