I think we may need to wait for Geoff to comment on this one. We've had
occasional reports of htmerge -m losing documents, but nothing we could
solidly pin down and consistently reproduce. I've taken a look through
htmerge/db.cc and as far as I can tell, it should correctly handle the way
you're using it above. Admittedly, it's a pretty unconventional way of
making a copy of a database, but that is what it should do, essentially.
The fact it doesn't would indeed suggest a problem here.
What platform are you running this on? (OS version, distribution if
applicable, compiler version, etc.)
