Dear Jack
I did as you said. I ran several times
lsof | grep mdimport
and the output was frozen at what is shown below at the end of this email.
Please take a look at the last two entries (I copied them right here)

OK, that confirms that what Martin said is true of Snow Leopard, which
I don't think was in question. But he said it had been true since
Leopard, and that's the part that I think is in error. If it wasn't
changed until SL, that would also explain why the current problem
didn't show up until SL.

My guess would be that you could be suffering from bad blocks
on your drive. If you have AppleCare, you can use the free TechTool
Deluxe that they provide to scan for those. As for deleting that

I don't know how you do this, but it's not what I get on Leopard. Are you
sure you aren't running Tiger?
Yes, it's Leopard. Specifically, as I said in my earlier message, 10.5.8.
Or do you set or unset the environment

I had a problem today trying to install ruby 1.8.6 on Snow Leopard. I
have unstable enabled, but fink could only see ruby 1.8.5 and not
1.8.6. I finally realized this is because the 1.8.5 info file does
not specify a Distribution, while 1.8.6 says Distribution: 10.5 and
since mine (10.6)
Dear Jack, David,

sudo mdutil -E / then sudo rm -fr /.Spotlight-V100
