It comes with the default installation of FreeBSD.

3:36pm image:/root> uname -a
FreeBSD image.surnet.ru 4.10-RELEASE FreeBSD 4.10-RELEASE #0: Sat Aug 21
19:30:29 YEKST 2004     root at image.surnet.ru:/usr/src/sys/compile/Image
i386
3:36pm image:/root> perl -v | head -2

This is perl, version 5.005_03 built for i386-freebsd

There's just the only one buffer in that set (cycbuff.conf):
cycbuff:BIGA:/articles/bigart:72011776
metacycbuff:MCBIG:BIGA

The story is that it (cnfsstat -a) works for a while after zeroing
this buffer, but when the buffer gets over 30 or 40 Gbytes
(i don't remember this "limit" exactly) cnfsstat stops working,
showing me what you've just seen above.

3:44pm image:~/etc> cnfsstat -a -m BIGA
sysseek:
3:44pm image:~/etc>

I'm sure this buffer wasn't corrupted because the server
didn't show any weird messages in its log files. INN is
working just fine, except cnfsstat. There were absolutely
no machine crashes etc ...
