You've probably just been lucky. I have seen 0.9.x (and 0.3.x) crashing on several different platforms. Everything works in the beginning, sometimes for a few weeks, but then I add more and more documents, the index gets larger, and at some point querys just start segfaulting. At least I haven't seen any more indexing segfaults since 0.9.x, that's definetely an improvement... -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. _______________________________________________ Ferret-talk mailing list [email protected] http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/ferret-talk
