Hi - Just a follow up on the issue of zlib version. I installed the 1.1.4 version of zlib available via Fink and rebuilt everything. Using the newer version of zlib, I encounter the same problem (i.e. a segfault from htdig with a very deep stack trace). I did perform a distclean and verified the use of the 1.1.4 version libz via otool.

Thanks. My guess is that (part of) the reason for the very deep recursion is that it's trying to allocate a block of len=8247 bytes, when the page size is only 8192: #3244 0x00070958 in CDB___memp_alloc (dbmp=0xa98c30, memreg=0xa99f60, mfp=0xc84e98, len=8247, offsetp=0x0, retp=0xbfffd900) at mp_alloc.c:88

I used to get the error
    Unable to allocate %lu bytes from mpool shared region
at some stage too, which is generated inside  CDB___memp_alloc.  From
memory, that was when I was using 1.1.3.

If that is really the problem, it can be fixed by testing explicitly
whether  len>pagesize  (if the pagesize is available somewhere...).
