See below.

Unfortunately, no.  And it turns out that this was not the issue.

It turned out that my initial analysis was wrong - expireover dumped co=
re
with or without delayrm. See below for a traceback - I'm afraid I can't=
 get
any better information than that.

Meanwhile, I have got my server back up by

     1) removing all control/cancel articles
     2) removing alt.* articles that were too old with
        find $SPOOL/alt -mtime +2 -type f | xargs rm
     3) removing $PATHOVERVIEW/*
     4) rebuilding history and overview databases with
        makehistory -O ...
     5) starting the server
     6) /news/bin/news.daily

I'm still annoyed by the thousands of log entries from makehistory whic=
h
result from cross-posted articles where some of the cross-postings have=

been removed.  An article like this one:

Xref: news.daimi.au.dk talk.politics.misc:1589510 alt.society.anarchy:1=
46527 alt.fan.noam-chomsky:93243 alt.activism:499181 alt.punk:541916 al=
t.politics.radical-left:300160

talk/politics/misc/1589510 existed, but all the crosspostings didn't.
Result: makehistory puts out a log entry for each token,
e.g. alt/activism/499181.
