If you do not do this then the > active file will not get updated. Another work-around is to insert an > ``msync'' call in the ICDwriteactive routine in innd/icd.c. This is > not supported because I consider the 386BSD behavior to be buggy. Is this also the case with other operating systems based on 386BSD, like NetBSD and/or FreeBSD?
