Yeah, I was wondering why they didn't have more details before, then I 
realized syslog had died.  *sigh*

Anyway, now that I'm logging things again, I found the following in 
news.err:

buffindexed: could not open overview for 
'clair.world.orgainzations.misc'

The same message is in news.notice.  Similar messages exist for other 
groups that expireover couldn't expire.

I'm guessing the best course of action here is to rebuild my history 
and overview files using makehistory?
