has any one seen this error as a result of expire -o -d9?

rec.auto.tech 0 expired
comp.sys.ibm.pc.games.announce 0 expired
7 (99%)
Article at offset 7653129 has size 1937204558. Skipped 1727 bytes.
7 articles (12642 bytes) deleted.

doing an expire -r zaps the read articles with no problems.

I plan on zapping the yarn dir and re installing. However, if anyone
knows of a util that will work to fix the news spool on a hpfs parition
Pls don't hesitate to apply the clue stick.

As to how it got there, it might have something to do with a control C I
did during import.

thanks
