I'm trying to keep $NEWSCTL where it is.  We have about 17 megabytes
of available space on that partition if I delete history.o.  The
history file is about 8 megabytes.  If I don't delete history.o,
doexpire (or something it calls) complains that it has to run with
expire -r.

What is the purpose of history.o?  When is it needed?  Can I automate
the removal of history.o?  I'd like not to have to move things.$$
