Are you using tagged hash? It's not large-file safe.

If you have a separate news transit machine, I suggest you bring this down
to a few days. With > 200G spool I have a 1.4-1.6G history file (remember
set to 3). The Diablo machine in front of it has less spool, a different
history format and 9 days of remember, so it'll take care of removing
duplicate articles (/news/dhistory is 300-odd K).
