active file has strange low/hi mark values

[Eric McDonald]

Yes--I've completely rm -rf *'d the overview database and rebuilt it
recently (both uniover and overview dirs).

I'm using uniover with cnnfs, and I have both an overview and a uniover in
my /var/spool/news directory.

I then ran the makehistory command:

makehistory -x -t h -O -I <somefile>

along with sort -t' ' +1 -2 <somefile> | expireindex -a -o -z

to follow and it rebuilt my uniover and overview directories...

The bogus #'s come right back.  It's some type of range error in the type
with Linux on Sparc maybe?

It's from the overview database.  Did you wipe out overview before
rebuilding it?  (What overview method are you using?)
