Seems it has something to do with full filesystems. Is anyone out there running B on a system where the filesystem containing /usr/spool (probably /usr) is frequently full? Do you lose your . files when this happens? I suspect something weird about CB/UNIX is doing it. In my previous message telling how to recover from a crash, I forgot to mention that after doing ls /usr/spool/news > /usr/lib/news/active you have to edit active by hand to put the tails back on the long newsgroup names.
