This happened to me today, too. Here´s what I found in warn.log: Dec 8 23:08:16 linux1 nntpcached[466]: nntpcache.c:281:Interrupted system call: SIGSEGV! Dec 8 23:25:22 linux1 nntpcached[8231]: nntpcache.c:281:Bad file descriptor: SIGSEGV! Dec 8 23:30:18 linux1 nntpcached[467]: nntpcache.c:281:Bad file descriptor: SIGSEGV!

I saw another message several times: Dec 8 23:54:20 linux1 nntpcache-nocem[912]: nocem.c:325:No child processes: group change to 'news.lists.filters' failed What does that mean? Thanks!

What I found with this is that the /usr/local/var/nntpcache/mmap files were becoming corrupted and causing the nnntpcached deamon to crash and burn. When I rm the mmap files (all of them), nntpcached seemed much happied. Occationally I had to remove the entire content of /usr/local/var/nntpcache/* and/or reboot the box. Very annoying.
