I assume you have a fair amount of physical RAM if you are running a news
server.  That is probably not the problem.

If you are crashing in the "fsck -p" in /etc/rc, I would probably try:

csh -c "unlimit; exec fsck -p"

as a way to circumvent the per process memory limit that you may be
running into.  You can probably stick that right into /etc/rc in place
of the current fsck -p.
