Now I have news expire (the expire command) dying as well.  (Yeah, sounds
bad, maybe a hardware problem (although this system was 100% stable under
StunOS)).  In the news expire log, I get a message "segmentation violation -
core dumped" but I can't find the core file anywhere.  Do you know why this
might be?

This system is about 50 km from here, but I guess I'll have to go there
and do the usual "pull everything apart and put it back together" kind of
fix (hopefully, it's just some SIMM become loose..)..

Computers, sigh ;)
