   I wonder if there is some bug in the jamLib version of jamnntpd.  One of the   
   more confusing things about the jamnntpd bandwaggon is that there are several   
   versions out there.   The jamlib versions may compile on 64bit but corrupts   
   msgbases because of alignment issues.  (building with -m32 is a quick fix).    
   Even with this, I had issues access messages in bases larger than ~16K in   
   messages - can't remember the exact number.   
      
   With a few exceptions the smapi version has worked best for me.  I have based   
   all changes I made since on this.  It even compiles and works on 64bit without   
   any special requirements (not that 64bit is required for limits being delt   
   with).   
      
   Take care,
