from icd.c in the inn1.4 distribution:

    ICDactpointer = mmap((caddr_t)0, ICDactsize, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE,
                        MAP__ARG, ICDactfd, (off_t)0);

ICDactfd is the 'active' file.

If you're on a machine that gives poor swap performance (i.e. any toy
computer being pressed into Real Computer tasks) your ratio of
physical to virtual memory had better be pretty damned near unity, or
you're going to be hating life.
