Unfortunately I don't. All I know is that MMAP and INN work fine on several other OS's, and fail miserably under any version of FreeBSD through the 3/4 -current. While it's certainly possible that it's a defect in INN, I would be skeptical. Trivial uses of MMAP work fine. This concerns me for another reason in that we're planning on making heavy use of MSQL for processing our accounting records for our RADIUS stuff, and MSQL can use MMAP, but now I can't be sure the the implementation and thus the results of the queries is reliable. However, in the interests of narrowing it down a bit, it only seems to be problematic when a newgroup message is processed and the active file changes size as opposed to just content changing w/o size changing. Maybe it's a locking problem of some kind, I don't know, all I know is that it doesn't work, John sent me mail a couple months ago telling that he thought it worked in -current, and I'm reporting back that it still doesn't work.
