The only reference lately that I've been able to find is on 
May 5 at 02:15:01 when fetchnews erased a stale lock.file and on May 6 
fetchnews complained about an illegal article:broken pipe.  There is no 
mention of yesterday's or today's stuck lock.file.

texpire runs faithfully every night and has never hung.  It's only 
fetchnews that has been having problems.  I've been calling it once an 
hour.  I'm going to change this to once every 6 hours and see if there's a 
difference.
