expiry problems?

[Josh Huber <huber@alum.wpi.edu>]

Is anyone else experiencing expiry problems?  Perhaps I'm missing
something and my configuration is busted, but I have groups that
should have expired articles a long time ago, but haven't.

I have a topic parameter for the "Debian" topic which is

(total-expire . t)

for example:

(gnus-group-find-parameter "mail.lists.debian.devel")

=> ((to-list . "debian-devel@lists.debian.org") (total-expire . t)
   (subscribed . t))

This group has 7600+ messages in it (it really does, I checked the
nnml directory, so it's not just a problem of the article count
estimate).  Of course, many of them are older than my
nnmail-expiry-wait value of 7 days.

C-c C-x on that group outputs a message "Expiring articles in
mail.lists.debian.devel...<pause of ~3 seconds>done"

Perhaps there is something else controlling expiry that I'm missing?

nnmail-expiry-wait-function is nil.

thanks,
