Hi! 
 
 First of all thank you, developers and contributors, for a great search 
engine  you've made.

  I have a couple of questions.

  1.   When i runned index -N 10   (for exanple)   a got  zombies  in my 
system ( shown by top) .  
------------
87 processes: 83 sleeping, 1 running, 3 zombie, 0 stopped
------------
these zombies are also marked by <defunct>  mark in ps output.
-------------
26857 pts/10   S      0:00 sbin/index -N 10 -r /tmp/aspseek.log
26858 pts/10   Z      0:00 [index <defunct>]
26859 pts/10   Z      0:00 [index <defunct>]
26860 pts/10   Z      0:00 [index <defunct>]
26863 pts/10   S      0:00 sbin/index -N 10 -r /tmp/aspseek.log
26864 pts/10   S      0:00 sbin/index -N 10 -r /tmp/aspseek.log
26865 pts/10   S      0:00 sbin/index -N 10 -r /tmp/aspseek.log
26866 pts/10   S      0:02 sbin/index -N 10 -r /tmp/aspseek.log
26867 pts/10   S      0:01 sbin/index -N 10 -r /tmp/aspseek.log
26868 pts/10   S      0:00 sbin/index -N 10 -r /tmp/aspseek.log
26869 pts/10   S      0:00 sbin/index -N 10 -r /tmp/aspseek.log
26870 pts/10   S      0:00 sbin/index -N 10 -r /tmp/aspseek.log
26871 pts/10   S      0:00 sbin/index -N 10 -r /tmp/aspseek.log
26872 pts/10   S      0:00 sbin/index -N 10 -r /tmp/aspseek.log
26873 pts/10   S      0:01 sbin/index -N 10 -r /tmp/aspseek.log

And after a while I noticed that the whole index process was not doing his 
job. (index disappeared from the first lines of 'top' and sbin/index -S 
didn't show any changes )

tail -f /tmp/aspseek.log  showed me

i tried to terminate it safely, but  sbin/index -E terminated only a few 
threads - others were still running.   


!!!! note: during further experiments with aspseek I failed to terminate even 
a thread from the whole process 
!!!!! note: trying to increase the -number of resolvers with -R    didn't  
help me fighting with zombies and with actual stopping of index routine.


this situation didn't change after a night and I killed (with killall -KILL 
index )  the rest of  index threads .  all the zombies disappeared but   
sbin/index -D finished very quickly, so I understood that not there was a 
small amount of URLs indexed. 
 sbin/index -S acknoledged that. (the difference was very small)

 May be you need some more information ?? 
 But  a single-threaded index is excellent. 

2.   If a webpage contains &nbsp;   in it's source,   nbsp;    is displayed 
in search result  (that's right, without "&").
How can this be cured ?

P.S.
    I run 
    Slackware 8.0     2.2.19  SMP
    Intel PIII  SMP
     Aspseek 1.2.5 compiled without unicode and with mysql.
