After the first time, I renumbered the active file, and rebuilt the history file (makehistory -buv). After the second time, I removed all symlinked articles, rebuilt the active file (makeactive -mo), and rebuilt the history files. But it still happened again. I have since re-compiled without mmap() and system has successfully handled about 65,000 articles with out a problem, which is better than before. There is a backlog of about 80,000 articles that is being feed to it now, so I'll see how that goes. Tom
