It works !! Thank you.

Next thing I'm going to upgrade to FreeBSD 2.2, to get the better malloc
and some other enhancements from it. The innd doesn't have to be that
large. I tried linking my inn with -lgnumalloc , but it was a desaster.
Ever seen a sysload of 20 on a FreeBSD box ? I couldn't believe my eyes.

2.2-ALPHA performs very well on my other newsserver, no crashes or 
problems since I installed it three weeks ago.

Cheers,

Michael
