Since not so long ago I'm running BNEWS 2.11 Patchlevel 19 on a HP9000/840.
(I moved from a HP9000/340). After re-compiling all the software and re-
installing it (and some minor other strange happenings) I got stuck on
trying to expire the news. When I tried to expire the following happened
(this is a piece of /usr/lib/news/errlog):


Aug 17 12:26	richard	inews: freopen(_{`): No such file or directory
Aug 17 12:26	Unknown	inews: rnews failed, status 256. Batch saved in /usr/spool/news/.bad/_{`

I there anyone out there who can tell me what is wrong with expire?

        Thanks in advance,

                Richard van Denzel.
