Dear all,

The last days I did some further research with Benoit Grange and Willi
Huber (they both run SUN OS, so we could use each others binaries) on the
recent indexing problems. This morning I found out that the problems
disappear when you don't use the '-p' prime option in netdbm. This option
adds dummy objects to the database to make the lookups faster.

So for the temporary solution:

Do *NOT* use the '-p' option in netdbm !!!

I am not sure yet if there is a bug in the code or that certain 'dbm'
versions cause the problems. I will investigate further ...

Kind regards,

David Kessens
