|I'm having a problem doing a rebuild with the patchlevel 18 expire.  Using
|expire -r -I -e 5 -v6, expire runs for quite some time before spouting out the
|message:
|

I had all sorts of troubles, (on upaya - which is why I am
posting from lilink) and am in the process of trying to set them aright.

First, all the new articles tha made it through were created with
numbers having 64 in them (ie.  64,264,6464,26464,646464,2646464....)
which really threw off everything, and made rn look for a
long, long time from one article to the next.

It's now reporting "2576768 unread articles in misc.jobs.resumes"
when I have done an 'expire -i0 -I21 -r' to clean up the message
base and start over, and there are exactly 0 articles there....
but still rn is having to seek forever  to find this out.

Is there a way to invoke rn so that it will catch up all
newsgroups?
