      Hello Matt!

   DING!! DING!!   
      
   Well you have spilled the beans as it were.. I've been digging through that   
   circular bug mess on this exact issue..   
      
   That is what I think the issue is with the DEB's... they may compile, so   
   Launchpad just takes it as GOOD TO GO! Problem is that if you run it on *64b*   
   corruption due to exactly waht you said... be it CM II or JamNNTPd...   
      
   THIS is EXACTLY why I asked... I had the ace up my sleeve the whole time! :) ;)   
      
   So is the V1.3 code at the SF stuff *correct* for *64b* operation or no one   
   knows as for some reason every one is using 32b??? And the only other working   
   server user seems to be using OS/2 ... although his bug patch was added to the   
   V1.3 code on 9/10/16.....   
      
   I don't know but I have a hunch that if any one is running this on Linux they   
   are using 32b for it for some reason.. maybe thats all the hardware they have   
   for a spare... don't know...   
      
   BUT..   
      
   Again, this is why I asked, I want to use JamNNTPd to do some things.. but not   
   CORRUPT of the Jam base with something that has the same issue..   
      
   So where is this -m32 option used????   
      
   in other words this:   
      
   sudo make -m32 linux (think thats lised in the compile it note)  or some other   
   edit???   
      
      
   Seems there IS  a *magic golden* code base for JamNNTPd as well!
