By hand, there is no problem.
Well :->

% /usr/home/julien/inn/install2.5/bin/makedbz -i -o
makedbz: failed to malloc 80000000 bytes at dbz.c line 1284: Cannot allocate memory


But it still does something and INN works fine afterwards (rc.news).


During "make install", it appears that makedbz is run as "kmem" group.

It explains the problem I had with tainted variables during innupgrade:
it was complaining with its being run setgid.
If I understand well, *gmake* setgids to "kmem".

I do not know what we can do for that during "make install"...
