I've just recently upgraded my Mailman 2.1.5 setup to include the ht://DiG integration patches et al., and after getting it going and sending the test e-mail through all of my lists to get the .conf files set up etc., I tried a test run of "nightly_htdig" to get things rolling.

This resulted in "rundig" running, and while "htdig" and "htmerge" seem to run OK, it's hanging on the "htnotify" stage. "htnotify" opens the first of the "db.docdb" files (which isn't very large, since all the lists were just recently set up) for the first of the lists, and it then proceeds to start doing mmap2()'s (this is on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 in case it matters, btw) of ever-increasing sizes (by powers of 2) until it requests a 1 GB (why?!?) mapping, then it just sits there in "Run" state for good, apparently doing nothing (there's no more strace output after the 1 GB mmap2() - at least, not until I eventually kill it off in frustration).

Any ideas?

Sorry for the noise - I've picked up the "Solaris only" (apparently not) patch ("htnotifyNull.0") for "htnotify" from

ftp://ftp.ccsf.org/htdig-patches/3.1.6/htnotifyNull.0

and rebuilt "htnotify", and now it's happy.
