Yarnpack /i, at that time, reported 4920 message ID's in the history.pag,
while nnign reports there are only 4792 messages active... a difference of
128 messages.
Somehow, somewhere, Expire (it seems) is leaving in these extra MSG id's in
the history.pag -- now whether it is displaying this odd behavior because
of something Yarnpack did, or for some other reason, I still have no idea.
Of course I may have a fundimental misunderstanding of the history.pag.
Maybe it's a normal condition sometimes for it, and it leaves extra
previously expired msg ID's in there pointing to existing free space
blocks... dunno. A mystery... (-: Maybe all this confusion will motivate
Chin to write a pack-in place option. (-:
The good news is that this doesn't appear to be a serious problem (so far).
Rebuild -h, while it takes a bit of time, and resets all the import dates,
doesn't take much disk space to do and fixes it. No data is lost (as far as
I can tell, so far).
