I tried to debug makehistory. It fails in storage/interface.c line 663
q = groups = NEW(char, len + 1);
len has value approximately 600000000. len is art->groupslen.
art->groupslen is calculated in tradspool_next(). May be error is
in this function. Sorry, but I have not enough experience and time to
continue debug and find error.
