oooookkkkkk ..... So you heavily recommend to use the bsd shutdown
when a dig is in progress. Can you give me (possibly off the list) a
list of actions to put this into light so I can forward it to Apple ?

What I meant is that the update was done halfway with the regular

Well here's the answer:
fh% ./htstat -c ../conf/myconf.conf
htstat: Total documents: 162
htstat: Total words: 0
Bus error
cd ../db
ll

I guess my database (around 40000 pages) is completely hosed ...
