I have got the following message from expire the last two days:

expire problems:
expire: wrong number of fields in history `...'
expire: bad return from doline(): `' (Error 0)

I assume that somehow I have got a bad line in the history file. The question
is what should I do about it? I assume that I can't simply edit the history
file because that will screw up the indexing.

Also how do I find the offending entry?

Thanks, Russell.
