I just started using the "-o -d xx <newsgroup>" with switch with expire,
so I suspect that this may be where the problem is, since I've *never*
had this happen before. (so it maybe the offset in news.dat is okay, but
for some reason these switches cause problems in memory??).
I usually only run "expire -r."
I've seen other of other people mention this, but I think it was the DOS
version of Yarn.
The command line was run from a .cmd file, which included,
expire -o -d 60 alt.binaries.pictures.football 60 expired
rebuild -s
Assertion failed: blk.prev + free.size + sizeof(BlockHeader) == delOffset, file

^^^^^^^^^^
this probably had something
to do with it? :-?
