Tradspool recovery

So we had a kernel panic (not INN related), and usual tradspool got hosed.
I wiped overview and ran makehistory. It proceeded to go into an infinite
loop in ov3.c at
while (!GROUPLOCempty(loc)) {
if (GROUPentries[loc.recno].deleted == 0) {
if (memcmp(&grouphash, &GROUPentries[loc.recno].hash,
sizeof(HASH)) == 0) {
return loc;
}
}
loc = GROUPentries[loc.recno].next;
}
I have no idea what would cause this. I'm currently wiping a bunch of
articles (like all of alt.*) and will see if it helps. I don't think it's
gotten far enough that the size of the spool matters, though, so if anyone
has any thoughts...
