Hi, Petr,

An update using flock to ensure only one thread is writing an index
file has been implemented in SVN Revision 747.  Please give it a try
if you are on a system that using posix file system.

As for cleaning up the corrupt index files, you should be able to
using the command line tool 'ibis' to rebuild the indexes with an
additional flag of '-z' to zap away all existing index files.

Good luck.

John
