[leafnode-list] Re: 2.0.0.alpha20081120a (and earlier) texpire -r segmentation fault

[Kevin Bulgrien <kbulgrien@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The culprit is a header on the groupinfo file.  The old texpire has no problem
with it.  The new one has a big problem with it.  I did not put that header in
there to my recollection.  I took it out, and texpire -r completes with no
error.  I'd say that a segfault is unwarranted for junk in a configuration
file.  The old texpire is not phased by it.

Old version:

$ head -2 /home/news/leaf.node/groupinfo | od -ax
