Yes, when I change WordList::Word() to support location_factor, I'll be sure to put in some proper bounds checking. > On a slight change of tack, perhaps better on the list? ...

Well, I don't recall the request, so it never got on my own to-do list, and the to-do list on the web site isn't that current. If you run with -vvv, you should get output showing the Date headers put out by the HTTP server, but I suppose that's not quite ideal. How frequently should these timestamps be put out?
