SUBJECT: Assertion Failed ...

.. Chin ( and all others who may help)
..
.. I am getting a perculiar when I do an "expirex -r" on my news.dat.
..
.. The stdout from the screen is as follows:
..
.. D:\>exp microsoft.public.win95.win95applets
.. microsoft.public.win95.win95applets 54 expired
.. microsoft.public.win95.setup 1 expired
.. Assertion failed: blk.prev + free.size + sizeof(BlockHeader) == delOffset,
.. file ..\SPOOLFIL.CPP, line 235
.. ABNORMAL TERMINATION
..
.. My news.dat is (at this moment) 119 608 KB while the drive that it is on
.. has 230 MB free space.
..
.. Am running Yarn95 under WinNT 4.0 SP2 but the "expirex" is the one from
.. the original Yarn v0.92 release.
..
.. Help/explanation appreciated.
..
.. James

Try an expire after REBUILD -H. That will rebuild your history file,
which usually gives the 'line 235' error. If that does not work, try
REBUILD -S. Do this last as it changes the expire dates of your database.
