I didn't understand linux behavior since I've never touched

} I'm now trying to find why &gh->indexmem[ge->low - ge->base] + nbytes
} is outside address space.  But it isn't clear for me ;-(

This happens if 'ge->low - ge->base' gets bigger.  Originally,
this is due to corrupted pathoverview/group.index in most case,
I guess.  In this situation, after renumbering active, there
will be large gap for article number when assigning new one.
In the case, whenever rebuilding overview, above problem arises.
