Added the syslog() call, rebuilt, reinstalled with "make update,"
restarted innd, ran the suggested "echo|expireover"...

...and saw not one single message in news.notice the whole time.

On the other hand, I did get several thousand lines like this on
my screen:

Can't unlink @05000000007D00014D160000000000000000@
Can't unlink @05000000007D00014D1D0000000000000000@
Can't unlink @05000000007D00014D1F0000000000000000@
Can't unlink @05000000007D00014D200000000000000000@
Can't unlink @05000000007E00004E0B0000000000000000@
Can't unlink @05000000007E00004E130000000000000000@
Can't unlink @05000000007E00004E140000000000000000@
Can't unlink @05000000007E00004E170000000000000000@

But a quick check of a dozen of these storage tokens with "sm" finds
that every single one of them exists -- why expireover is trying to
unlink articles, I can't say, but given that it's trying to do so, I
see no reason why it wouldn't succeed.

Oh, and if the "echo|expireover" suggestion was to instruct expireover
to expire only the one group, then expireover ignored this suggestion
entirely, and evidently tried to work on the whole overview universe,
considering that I was informed that e.g. soc.history and
rec.sport.pro-wrestling were unsuccessful in expireover's handling,
plus I got this summary at the end:

    Article lines processed    68725
    Articles dropped            2459
    Overview index dropped      5356

Weirder by the minute.

Hm, data point: Count of "Can't unlink" lines matches "Articles
dropped" in summary.
