Numerical argument out of domain

[Sameh Ghane]

Moin,

After a reboot to use a kernel with a bigger data segment size per process,
allowing expire to end (hopefully), but no other problem, my reader doesn't
start anymore:

FreeBSD 4.2-STABLE #2 / INN 2.3.1 20001121 / trash+timecaf+CNFS-tradindex

Numerical argument out of domain

I found only one reference of this problem, Katsuhiro answered to "touch
history; makedbz -i". It's in japanese, but I assume there was no previous
history. In my case, here's what I have in /usr/local/news/db:

-rw-rw-r--  1 news  news          29 Jan 31 11:42 .news.daily
-rw-rw-r--  1 news  news     2154614 Feb  1 12:12 active

-rw-rw-r--  1 news  news         111 Feb  1 12:12 history.dir
-rw-rw-r--  1 news  news   503379108 Feb  1 12:12 history.hash

-rw-rw-r--  1 news  news         234 Jan 30 19:35 userlist

So do I have to delete this HUGE history file and recreate it (please say "NO!")
? And what does this error mean ? It looks like a standard error message from
libc, but not that helpful:

     33 EDOM Numerical argument out of domain. A numerical input argument was
             outside the defined domain of the mathematical function.

Any idea ?
