Hi,

I'm running 4 virtually identical news servers, inn 2.4.1 on Solaris 9, in
a feed-only configuration (no overview etc)

Fairly standard configuration - the only unusual things are increased values
for rlimitnofile and hiscachesize in inn.conf

one of these 4 systems has started crashing regularly, with bad
active file entries. The other 3 don't see this problem.

eg

[ID 373606 news.crit] SERVER bad_active fj.mail-lists.fj-committee\3400000009923 0000008684 m fj.mail.lists 0000003258 ......
[ID 373606 news.crit] SERVER bad_active fl.config 0000000645\3400000000600 y fl.environment 0000000098 0000000087 m fl.......
[ID 373606 news.crit] SERVER bad_active humanityquest.perseverance 0000000026 0000000007\340y humanityquest.pessimism 0......

Notice the \340 in each line, and that sometimes 2 lines have become appended.


Any ideas?

Bruce.
