Correct.

Do I need to do something to make ruby use this xapian and not the
Fedora xapian?  How can I tell which it is using?

I did some sleuthing and found that it hangs on the loop over all the
messages in my first source (imap) after it gets through exactly seven
of them.  Specifically, it hangs at the top of the loop:

  Redwood::PollManager.each_message_from source do |m|

Any ideas?

Thanks.
