Description Charles Kerr 2003-04-08 12:24:50 UTC 
Adding two colons after an expires tag, i.e., 

[^alt\.binaries\.sounds\.radio\.misc$]
Score: = -9999
Expires:: 5/6/2003
Subject: Loveliné
Subject: Coast To Coast
Subject: Rense

causes 0.13.93 to loop forever, spewing out error messages.
Comment 1 Charles Kerr 2003-04-08 12:44:24 UTC 
It appears that it's not looping forever, but just aborting the
parsing of the scorefile, then trying to reload it again, each
time with the backtrace:
