You can see what's changed by looking at the ChangeLog in any release or
snapshot. I don't see anything that's changed in May that would clearly
suggest a problem with reading old databases, but there were some pretty
heavy changes made on May 16. If you can obtain the htdig-3.2.0b4-051301
snapshot and try it, we'd like to know if it was those latter changes,
or something earlier, that introduced the problem.
If this snapshot works, we'll have to take a closer look at the May 16
changes to see what broke. If it fails, I'd be a bit surprised because
there were only a few small changes made on May 3, 5 and 9, and I don't
see how any of them could lead to this error. One change I posted on
May 3, while quite small, fixes a fairly major bug in the parser, so
you probably want a snapshot of May 6 or later to get this fix, if the
snapshot works for you.
