Sorry for being fuzzy, just to clarify things.

- I am running 2.3.3 stable (20011103) on my server.

- I want to be able to have different readers.conf files, and my plan was
to get the source for the 2.4 with the "-c" flag for nnrpd. I downloaded
the inn-CURRENT-20011209. Ran "configure --with-perl ; make", with no
problems at all. Grabbed the binary for nnrpd. But trying to run this
binary, results in a segfault.

Ok, then it should work on my box, but it segfaults when I try to run it.

- Checked the output from the compile, no errors.
- Did a strace, and nothing obvious.

Tried to compile it on my second server runnig inn 2.3.2, the same result.

Any ideas?
