Since a couple of days expirations runs, but deletion stops after an error:

and a couple of 100 other (silly) messages.

'Normally', if expirations ends before it is finished, the next expiration
startes where the last expirations did stop. So, smart as we are (ahum), we
stop expiration after the error and restart. But in this case this trick
doesn't work.
Every expiration starts all over again, hardly deleting anything, hit this
error again, continues with examination and stops at the end of his list.
Number of examined object is now nearly 4 million, my guess is that at least
3 million should be deleted.
Not to mention that we will ran out of tapes pretty soon....
