My relaynews, which has been running just fine for many months, has
suddenly started to act strangely. Every batch fails with status 1,
and in errlog I find: relaynews: out of memory (not a typewriter),
once for each batch.

This has been happening for about a month now, but since it seemed
like most or all of the articles were being installed ok anyways,
I have just ignored it. However, expire is now complaining about
running out of memory in various functions, and I can't very well
do without expire.

Both programs are compiled small model on a 286 machine, and I have not
re-compiled them or changed any configuration that I can think of.
RE-building the history file has no effect.  All other programs on the
system are acting normally.  A test program I wrote is able to malloc
53k in 1k blocks; is there any reason that this would be insufficient
for either of these programs?  Should I re-compile them in large model?
Any suggestions on a strategy to figure this problem out would be
greatly appreciated...
