Hi All,

I hope that there is someone out there who is running thttpd on NetBSD. I
have been having a long running problem with thttpd returning error 500,
and with mmap() errors.

I was running thttpd-2.21b on NetBSD-1.5.2 port Amiga with 128 megs of
ram. I am starting thttpd as root and it runs as users nobody. I just
upgrade to thttpd-2.23beta1, and althought it has stopped giving me error
500 it seems to be giving me a large number of errors in
/var/log/messages.

Also, with thttpd-2.21 with A.D.F. patch 14 it would get to around 30 megs
before there was a problem, but as files sizes keep increasing it would
then get upto around 50 to 60 megs before there was a problem. Now that I
installed thttpd-2.23beta1 it never gets to be more than 14 to 20 megs,
before there is an error in the log and it returns to only 2 to 5 megs.

Thanks,
Al
