We got hit by an unexpected bulge of news last night (where do those things
come from?) and pyramid badly overflowed its /usr/spool partition. (Geez, you
would think half an Eagle would be enough.) The dangling remnants of log files
suggest that a considerable amount of news and mail was thrown on the floor. 
We'll take care of the lost news, but any mail routed to/through pyramid.com
last night should be resent.

I *was* delighted to see that 2.11 expire coped with the out-of-disk-space
condition much more elegantly than previous versions -- no more zero length
active file! Still, I'd rather not have found out by experience....
