Several of the maps that I have received lately have had an expiration date
that is less than 24 hours after the posting date.  This caused the map files
to be expired and deleted before pathalias ran.

I have modified my crontab so that pathalias runs before my nightly expire.
However, I have lost several updates because of the problem.  Was this
intentional?  If so, why do the maps need to be expired so quickly?  Aren't
the maps generally valid for about a month, and therefore shouldn't the
expiration period be about a month?

Thanks,
