I don't think so.  Disk space problems would cause NEWS to stop receiving
new posts but should continue to let users read NEWS.  The problem the
other night, though, was that NEWS stopped completely (the NEWS process
died).  Unfortunately, it didn't leave any clues (log files, etc.) giving
any indication as to why it stopped.  We came in yesterday morning and
restarted it and it started fine and has been working smoothly ever since.
