It was a zlib issue. I am running 3.1.5 compiled from source..
Thanks a lot for the answer.

This is my first guess as well. Try running "ldd" on your htsearch binary,
and make sure all the libraries identified by this are the same in your
jailed and unjailed environments.
Failing that, it could be a database corruption problem in db.excerpts in
the jailed environment, if you're running a 3.2 beta release of htdig.
You didn't identify which version you're running. Red Hat 7.1 includes
htdig 3.2.0b3 (as htdig-3.2.0-0.b3.4 and htdig-web-3.2.0-0.b3.4 RPMs)
for indexing KDE help files, but a lot of users build their own.
