Re: texpire deleting more articles than it should

I found most of my problem: duplicate message-ids being strangely handled.

I had two files, a and b, both with the same message-id.  a was linked into
message.id, but b wasn't.

When I ran texpire -D 257 -vvv -f -e -n wg21.c++.all, it told me it was going
to delete a, but that it was *also* going to delete b because it wasn't in
message.id.

Then I ran texpire -vvv -f -r -n wg21.c++.all, which fixed up the hard links
in message.id.  *Then*, when I ran the first command again, it reported it was
only going to delete a now, and not b anymore.

Otherwise, the deletions it proposed all seem like legitimate duplicates after
analysis.  The only bug here is that it would have deleted both a and b until
I repaired the message.id hard links for that group.  In essence this means
that, to be safe, I have to always run this:

  texpire -vvv -f -r -n
  texpire -vvv -f
