Expire crashes the entire server in INN 2.2.1

[SmarttNet Technical Support]

Here's a real mystery.  As a note, this has been happening with INN 2.2 and
2.2.1 for awhile.  This re-occurs ever 2 - 4 weeks.

When our servers crashes it is during the first 2 minutes of the expiration
process.  And every time it does, I find this in the next expiration process.

======================================================================

I posted this on news.software.nntp and never ever got any type of fix for it.

Russ Albery identified this as an overflow with tagged hash.  But this 
server was not configured for tagged hash.

I am running Linux kernel 2.2.12 and use the traditional storage method for 
the articles.

I am a programmer but I do not have the time to go through the code.  I 
will help when I can with this but I need help.

I will also submit all my configurations if this will help.

Thank you
