INN 2.4 server keeps throttling...

[Wilson, Sue EIS-NWD]

This started after I stopped the server to tar up all of news as a =
backup

When I restarted it started giving this error and throttled again and =
again,
it won't stay up.
It is a tradspool database

So far I have saved off and archive of my system which does allow =
reading of
our local groups but no posting

and run various instructions set with makehistory and makebz but to no
avail...

right now makehistory -b -O -F =20
and makedbz afterward .
<<< did not help ??
