Sorry John, but the latest VM changes you made seems to break things
here... With vfs.ioopt=1 (the new default), actived (part of INN + insync
patches) dies pretty fast complaining of active's format.

Actived is reading periodically the active file in a buffer and with ioopt
enabled, the read() just read... nothing. Thus the in-memory copy of active
is junk and actived dies.

Mar  1 20:40:59 keltia actived[7148]: internal no_space2 "alt.2600..." 
Mar  1 20:40:59 keltia actived[7148]: cant getgrouplist No such file or directory

An overeager read optimisation maybe ?

With vfs.ioopt=0, everything's fine.
