One of the first things I tried was removing the larger files from the
spool, even though none were larger than 50kb. I also tried temporarily
removing all files older than the time the service stopped, in case one of
them was corrupt. We virus scanned yesterday and some files from the spool
and archives were removed because they were infected. Also yesterday we had
a problem where the drive on which LISTSERV is installed ran out of space.
This stopped LISTSERV, but once the space problem was resolved, I was able
to restart LISTSERV without any problems.

I believe the key error code comes from the LISTSERV log, although I cannot
find an explanation on what it means. I believe Error 8 means, generally, a
lack of resources:
>>> Error 8 from HeapAlloc() for -453556728 bytes <<<

Running v. 1.8d
