[tor.news] Active file corrupt messages

dan@maccs.UUCP (05/27/87)

    Here's an interesting problem that I can't seem to find a solution for.
lately I've been getting messages from expire saying that my active file is
corrupt. I've checked the active file and things seem fine and news is still
flowing nicely. I've tried using a script file called "restore.active" but 
it creates an active file with tons of outdated newsgroups and I can't trust
using it. 

    Has anyone experienced this problem? I would like to hear from people 
before I go searching through the source code for expire.

thanks
