There were a number of E-mail replies and a few followup postings 
to my request for help.  Most of them, correctly, suggested that I
define the preprocessor variable HP9K5 when compiling the Netnews
software.  Now expire is running like clockwork on our machine, 
vnews no longer behaves erratically and everything seems to work 
fine!

My thanks to all the Netnews readers who helped me out.
