This is getting real wierd. Thing same thing happened here also!
This morning I discovered that my active and history files were gone.
Not just empty, but GONE! Judging by the modify time on oactive I'm
guessing that expire is the culprit. (I'm running 2.10.3 alpha.)
Maybe this is a hidden gotcha in expire.c ;-)
