You need to add an msync() call to the INN code where it syncs the
active file (don't remember where, exactly).  The idiot INN author
refuses to put this into his code, because he says only "broken"
systems need it, and he isn't about to cater his code to broken
systems.  Email from a wide variety of users might modify his
disposition.
