main menu, A Expand Files.
Select a broken file, add 10 or so records.
If that doesn't fix it add more, add 100.

I don't know how few or how many are actually required, maybe you can 
always add just 1, maybe you need some amount that varies depending on 
things like the size of the file or the size of one record or the number 
of broken records etc.. We always just "add 10 or so" and it works, and 
it rarely hurts to add more than necessary since they'll just get used 
shortly anyways, and it happens rarely enough that we've never bothered 
to nail down an exact minimum required or deduce some rule to arrive at 
some specific number.

But it has happened enough times over many years and boxes that it's a 
known and routine fix.
