I put inn1.4unoff-2 on my FreeBSD 2.0.5R machine last night, and 
everything worked but the patch for nnrpd that allows it to use shared 
memory to share the active file. Whenever nnrpd would be activated, it 
would die with a signal 12 (bad argument to system call).

Does anyone have nnrpd running with this patch on FreeBSD (or any other 
BSD4.4-based system)? Anyone have any ideas what might be causing this 
problem? What's the best/easiest way to debug a daemon like this?

Your help is appreciated very much.
