Yeah, especially with so much that's beyond your control and constantly evolving, what with both SourcForge an GeoCrawler being able to make changes that will break the indexing. It's still not working right, by the way. (Not to nag or anything, but if you get a chance to look into the problem it would be great.) > >database, which is no longer around.

Well, I don't see any alarm calls in the 3.1.6 code, other than the one call in htsearch. The 3.2.0b4 code has alarm calls in Connection.cc and WordMonitor.cc. My concern in backporting the Connection code is being sure that the code is self-contained enough and this change won't break anything else. If this change depends on any changes in other files and we overlook those, we could be asking for trouble. -- Gilles R.
