"dbz.c: Can't malloc" during expire

Hi folks,

I'm running inn-2.3.2, and I built it with these configurations:

./configure  --with-perl --with-sendmail=/usr/sbin/sendmail --with-etc-dir=/ne
ws/etc --with-largefiles --prefix=/news

I'm using cnfs (all files less than 2G), and running on FreBSD 4.3.

My history file has now grown to 2.6 G, and I'm getting malloc errors on
expire:

expireover start Mon Apr  1 09:59:33 EST 2002: ( -z/news/log/expire.rm -Z/news/log/expire.lowmark)
expireover end Mon Apr  1 12:09:54 EST 2002
lowmarkrenumber begin Mon Apr  1 12:09:54 EST 2002: (/news/log/expire.lowmark)
lowmarkrenumber end Mon Apr  1 12:09:54 EST 2002
expire begin Mon Apr  1 12:10:24 EST 2002: (-v1)
    dbz.c:1283 Can't malloc 259001196 bytes: Cannot allocate memoryexpire end Mon Apr  1 12:10:27 EST 2002
        all done Mon Apr  1 12:10:27 EST 2002


I have a slave system with a history file of 2.2G that is not failing on 
expire. I thought "with-largefiles" was supposed to fix all this?  Or is it 
something else?

(Sigh, I didn't want to upgrade until the end of the term....)

Liz
