IVe recently installed INN1.2 and found what appears to be a problem, and
wonder whether anyone else has seen this, and/or managed to get around it.

If i run /usr/local/news/bin/expire to expire articles, it runs through
ok, building a new history.n history file. When it is finished, the new
history file is copied to the old one, as you'd expect. The problem
arises when i do a 'df' command on the partition, and i find that
the space taken up by the two history files has not been reclaimed by
the system, consequently leaving me with little disk space. By shutting
down and restarting the server, the space becomes available. 

Anyone got any thoughts on this ??? I'll copy some config files if people
require onto these lists.

Thanks in advance
