no longer running and I need to start over. Why?

A likely cause is running out of memory.  Unless you're using the
unreleased version from CVS, any group with lots of articles will
consume all the RAM on a system with typical amounts of memory.

Added this to my FreeBSD kernel config file in /usr/src/sys/i386/ conf/ to punch the default 512MB limit out to 2GB:

options         MAXDSIZ=(1024UL*1024*1024*2)    # 2GB
options         MAXSSIZ=(128UL*1024*1024)
options         DFLDSIZ=(1024UL*1024*1024*2)    # 2GB
