Hi again.  I posted a message a few weeks back when I had some problems
with the history file disappearing.  I thought it was a problem with
dbm or with expire.  Well I replaced dbm with the recently posted dbz.
I still have the problems (sometimes the history file disappears after
expire, sometimes after posting a message, seems to happen at random).
It is most annoying as it happens about once every two days.  Does anyone
out there experience the same problems, and how did you solve it.
(we run news 2.11 patchlevel 14 on a sun-3.  We expire with -e 10 -E 30.)

Thanks.

PS once in a while the active file disappears too!
