I solved my INN 1.4 problems.

The problem I had was that I would get this sym link errors in my syslog 
(/var/log/messages) and the system would throttle - 

This was with inn1.4 from the 2.0.5.R ports area and 2.0.5R.

Any time I rant ctlinnd renumber '' it would renumber several news groups.

I run a full feed.

Yesterday I grabbed the source, and the config.data from the ports area 
and ran through it myself.  I remembered someone saying they missed a bug 
in 2.1 snap at one point because they did not use MMAP - so I changed the 
config.data to not use MMAP as well in case it was related.

IT WAS

The thing has run clean since.  So either MMAP isnt perfect or INN's use 
of it isnt.
