I've recently discovered a problem on my site.  I've been running
news for a couple of years now, but I just installed news on a new
system and the new system is having the problem.  It's B News 2.11
Patchlevel 14.

The problem is that old news articles are missing from the history.
This is under System V.2 (Motorola System V/68).  I haven't seen
this happen before.  The result is that the articles never get expired
and the /usr/spool/news filesystem gets full.  I run "expire -r" and
everything is OK for a while.

What could make this happen?  What should I be watching for to detect
and correct this problem.
