Doh, sorry.  This is a SS10 running Solaris 2.6 with all current
recommended patches applied.  inn-2.3.0 was configured with these
options:

  env CFLAGS="-O2 -pipe" ./configure --prefix=/news --with-news-user=usenet --with-news-group=usenet --enable-tagged-hash --enable-pgp-verify --with-sendmail=/usr/lib/sendmail --with-perl --enable-libtool

Compiled with "gcc version 2.95.2 19991024 (release)".

I'm sorry, I don't understand what you are saying.  Are you saying that
innd should not be running while makehistory is rebuilding the overview
database?

Thanks for your assistance.
