Re: glimpseindex

Thanks for your note. I tried glimpseindex -o but got the same
error. gdb gives this stack trace:

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
0x4004f848 in free ()
(gdb) where 
#0  0x4004f848 in free ()
#1  0x4004f7f1 in free ()
#2  0x804eaf0 in my_free ()
#3  0x8052802 in build_hash ()
#4  0x80502a1 in build_index ()
#5  0x804acf5 in main ()
(gdb) 

And the source (.../index/build_in.c) has this little gem:

        build_hash();
        /* traverse1(); ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ removed on oct/8/96, bgopal, to see if crazysegvs disappear on lec

As a workaround this appears to work:

glimpseindex -B -b archive

Sadly the more recent versions of the code seem to be harder to get
to, unless you're an educational sort.

Cheers,
