OK. What happens if you say:

        ls -l /usr/local/news/db/history*

(Substitute "/usr/local/news/db/history" with whatever newsx says about 
where it thinks the database resides).

You are certain you are running newsx as a user ID that can access
history?

I've looked into this now. It definitely shouldn't stop, just continue
without history functionality (which normally isn't *that* critical).
What happens if you rerun with a handful of "-d"s on the command line?
