I have now been informed of the fix for this bug by "jsp@icdoc.UUCP"
and it is as follows:

Go to the news source directory and erase "ndir.o", "expire.o" and "expire".
Then remake and install - seems the bug was due to the Makefile not checking
dependencies properly.

"roy@phri.UUCP" has also noticed this bug and has sent me a program
to rebuild the active file - this is, I feel, now redundant.
