Current known things that make Ferret generate scary messages: - running more than one process touching the index at the same time (Sup locks the index now so this shouldn't happen unless you are being particularly devious) - having too many open filehandles, including too many "usual" mbox sources at the moment until I fix the mbox code not to keep filehandles open all the time. - running out of disk space. Could it have been any of those? -- William
