This is the first problem I've had with binary emulation. I've tried
both 2.2.7 and 3.0BETA FreeBSD shared libs.

I'm trying to run the test version of the Typhoon NNTP/NNRP server.

Here's the relevant file(1) info:

typhoond: FreeBSD/i386 demand paged dynamically linked executable
validate: FreeBSD/i386 demand paged dynamically linked executable

Validate is a config file checker. Typhoond is the innd replacement.

Here's the actually output from validate:

> ./validate 
LOG_ERR Couldn't ::madvise() ../typhoon.conf (m)
Operation not supported
LOG_ERR Error during processing of ../typhoon.conf (m)
Operation not supported
LOG_ERR Couldn't open configuration file "../typhoon.conf" (m)
Operation not supported
Loading of System Configuration File ../typhoon.conf FAILED!

Any thoughts would be appreciated.
Here's a portion of the ktrace...
