Dear net, Yesterday I've ugraded a system from 2.2-Stable to 3.0-Current with SMP. It runs Cnews (cnews-cr.g) from the packages collection. Today it started having problems while running doexpire. At the end of that it runs upact. I get these messages: awk in free(): warning: chunk is already free. awk in free(): warning: chunk is already free. awk in free(): warning: chunk is already free. awk in free(): warning: chunk is already free. awk in free(): warning: chunk is already free. ... repeated many times awk in free(): warning: page is already free. awk in free(): warning: page is already free. awk in free(): warning: chunk is already free. awk in free(): warning: chunk is already free. ... etc /usr/local/news/cnewsbin/expire/upact: errors in active.tmp -- aborting line 761: "alt.comp.hardware.pc-homebuilt" is non-numeric line 761: field 3 is zero line 762: "nl.sport.algemeen" is non-numeric line 762: field 3 is zero ...etc line 919: "comp.security.pgp.test" is non-numeric line 919: field 3 is zero This looks like an awk or malloc problem. Any ideas? Thanks, Ben
