The inn server has not crashed since I created the overview buffers and ran
makehistory.

expireover crashes nightly, and so does not complete successfully.   It 
always crashes at the same point and in the same way.

I could shut down the server, recreate the overview buffers, and run
makehistory again, but I'd rather not have to since this takes almost
an entire day, and since I suspect the problem will continue.

Everything else appears to be working fine, though I suppose I will fill
up my overview buffindex eventually.
