Aha! I see now why this is happening.

Somehow or another 0.1c is able to corrupt it's record of cached html/xml
pages. This can result in a SIGBUS (10) which is what you are seeing.

Work-arounds:
	cd wwwdir-for-lurker
	rm */*.html
	rm */*.xml
	cd dbdir-for-lurker
	rm expiry.*

	restart lurker

This should make it startup again.
The more permanent solution: upgrade to 0.1d asap since I just corrected the
bug in it. :-)
