- Something is broken, probably your history file or its indices. (Have
- you looked in errlog and the usenet mail box?) The brute force approach
- to fixing history and its indices is to run mkhistory; you might first
- want to try just rebuilding the dbz files by running locknews as the
- "news" userid and then running "cd /usr/lib/news; dbz history".
-
- (If you're on a 386, make absolutely certain that dbz.c got compiled
- *without* -O.)
