articles.gdbm file never get's smaller in size

I use noffle 1.1.5 from Debian (1.1.5-4). 

My /var/spool/noffle/data/articles.gdbm file never gets smaller in 
size.

time               size        articles bytes/article

articles.gdbm file grows in size, even though number of articles gets 
smaller. I think it's very unlikely for my average article size to 
grow so much (4 times). 

I get an impression noffle never physically deletes the articles from 
the articles.gdbm file.
