I seem to have a small problem with nstats.  I get the message:

Usage: newshist [-f historyfile] messageid ...

whenever I run nstats on my log file since running addmissing.  I have 
been running C News patched thru 24-Mar-1991 for a while with no 
problems until I ran addmissing.  I am using DBZ and NNTP1.5.10
on a BSD 4.3 system (Elxsi 6400).  Expire seems to be working OK.
newshist is complaining at this point:

case "$1" in
-*)     echo "case b $1 $usage" >&2 ; exit 2    ;;

with "$1" being a "--".  

I am running Nstats (a perl script) Version 1.2  (10/17/89). 

Any ideals?   Nstats does print its report and it looks reasonable.
