Hello:
We have been running NNTPcached 2.3.3 to my
knowledge since the first quarter of 2000 without any major
incidents.
The server is a Sun Ultra Enterprise, using Solaris
2.6, and pull news from a commercial service Newsfeeds.com.
Sometime on Saturday, NNTPcached died, and although
it will restart, it dies shortly after (within 5 minutes). It is
generating an Interrupted System call error. Here is a typical log excerpt
immediately after a restart:

start occuring? Is it a known bug we have just not experienced before now?
Is there a fix I should already know about?
I have not been able to contact our news provider
to see if they have made any changes over the weekend. However, there is
always the XMcalloc error after the active.times log entry.
Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.
Our formerly trouble free service is down until this is resolved.
