That is very odd, simply increasing the bucket size and deleting some buckets
should unjam this. I gather you've since managed to unjam it but I'll look
into
this further and check if there is a problem unjamming it by doing what you
did.
If all else fails this technique should always work.
increase bucket size
reduce pile usage to cleanly delete some buckets
stop the incoming feed
run an expire.
allow the incoming feed again
Anyway as I said we'll check this.
