I use cycbuffs for everything except panix.*, which is stored in
tradspool.  groupbaseexpiry is set to "true".  Here's my expire.ctl,
minus comments and whitespace:

  /remember/:0
  *:A:1:30:360
  *.answers:A:1:45:120
  panix.*:A:1:never:never
  panix.test:A:1:7:10
  panix.staff.*:A:30:360:720
  panix.staff.corp-web:A:30:90:180
  panix.staff.tech-staff:A:1:never:never
  alt.config:A:7:60:120
  news.announce.newgroups:A:7:60:120
  news.software.nntp:A:1:14:90
  rec.arts.startrek.info:A:1:45:120

Expiry on the cycbuff stuff is to keep the size of overview and
history reasonable.  My problem is that panix.* is not being expired.
I tried running expire by hand with "-ntvxz foo" and ended up with
an empty foo.  I'm at a bit of a loss.  Thoughts, suggestions,
questions?  Thanks in advance.

 Unix gives 0.35 t/ha extra yield.
 Can you afford to ignore the Unix difference?
