I've just completed an updated buffindexed.c.  As I told before, I tried
shared memory and semaphore.  I've tested it about a day, running
six news.daily jobs with OV_DEBUG turned on.  It runs smoothly.

This is a big improvement, because the previous version aborted at
innd or expireover without finishing a single job.  OV_DEBUG detects
three possible errors: duplicated alloc, duplicated release, and
some other type of error which I do not understand yet.

If you are interested, here's my tarball, buff.tar.gz.  The tar contains
four files, README, buffindexed.c, shmem.c, and shmem.h.  The install
instruction is written in the README.

Of course, it is still experimental. I do not recommend to run on a
production server until more tests on more platforms. I've tested it
only on two RedHat-7.3 Linux boxes.
