Expire crashes news server

[SmarttNet Technical Support]

Hello again.  I'm sure you know me by now from the news group 
news.software.NNTP

I have been having this problem for over a year now.

So far there has been no progress as to fixing this situation.  I'd like to 
take up why this is happening.  I'm also hoping someone who is working on a 
problem similar to this can help me with this.

This is where I am (Made a lil progress over the last few months)

I have had the news server crash on me when I issue a ctlinnd pause 
"Reason" command.

When the server dies during expiration it is during the first minute about 
the time that scanlogs is issuing a few ctlinnd commands.

Could be happening when it hits the first ctlinnd command

ctlinnd -s logmode

Because when the server dies and comes back (after powering down), the logs 
have not been touched so I'll manually run the news.daily and all is good 
again...

Anyone interested in helping with this bug?

Cheers..
