I have had a couple of reports that parts of the expire program don't seem
to work properly. The common denominator in this is USG. I run a BSD
system, and I have no way of testing the thing on anything else. If you are
running a USG system, consider the -r and -h options flakey and/or broken.
I am looking through things to see if I can find any blatant BSDisms, but
unless I get lucky I doubt I'll find too much. If someone with access to
USG wants to fix this thing and post the changes, I'll make sure they 
get integrated into my copy and try to make sure they get into future
releases as well... The -r and -h options DO WORK on BSD systems (both 4.1
and 4.2).
