>Description:
Using the pkgsrc version of inn, makehistory occasionally pukes on me,
because my history file is getting too large, and it's trying to
allocate a 50M blob to make the new history database.

>How-To-Repeat:
See above.

>Fix:
This is a patch to news.daily.in in INN's samples directory:
