On many systems, the en_US locale uses a collating sequence that treats accented characters as unaccented, just like fr_FR or other iso-8859-1 based locales. Use "LC_COLLATE=C" if there's any chance you have accented characters in your documents. This is done in the 3.1.6 snapshot. As it turns out, the first htmerge pass, after htdig, is needed on each database before you run htmerge -m. The code that handles the merging of two databases expects that the wordlist has already been purged of control records that htdig uses to tell htmerge about documents to update or delete. -- Gilles R.
