I tried this with _lots_ of free memory. After rebuilding the .pag and
.dir files it used virtual memory. Something in the .dir file was the
culprit, I think. I was happy to have our newsserver up and running again,
so I didn't investigate. 

The same thing happened twice, and got resolved the same way, I'm fairly
sure that something in the dbz-files was corrupted.
