	Yes, no wonder.

	I suggest pulling back to 2.99.12, which
	doesn't get stuck in similar scale.

	It is a screw-up in the internal databases of
	the sceduler.  The 2.99.13 as is worked somewhat
	on the OSF/1 Alpha (new nic.funet.fi), but when
	I changed several parts in it to be full 64-bit,
	it started to run in tight loops and be unable to
	deliver multi-recipient emails :-(

	Hold tight on 2.99.12.
	I need some sleep before I can make sensible
	code again -- it was quite an ordeal to switch
	from old SPARC machine to new DEC 3000/900 AXP
	with massive RAID-5 filestore..  (new nic.funet.fi)

	... today I finally enabled CRON in there, and
	started mirrors. The system is finally in production.
