Phooey.

I too was frightened but I've found the solution.  (And I'm still
running patchlevel 2.)

Via cron, I run uuhosts -unbatch, and then rebuild my pathalias
database.  The map information is now in a useful location and format.
Next I tell expire to:

	expire -i -e 2 -n comp.mail.maps

I ignore the expiration dates on the maps.  The map shars don't serve
me any useful purpose sitting around in /usr/spool/news so they're
gone.
