Alright, so what really happened is that expire updated all of the
overview files, but did not expire any articles from the newsbase.
However, the next time I ran expirex -o, its new cleanup feature did
its job and expired all of those orphaned articles. This is a good
thing.

But I hope Chin figures out why it terminated in the first place...
