Maybe I'm confused here, but isn't this the bug that was fixed back in May by a simple patch to the parser (a missing return statement or something like that)? Jamie, you didn't mention which 3.2 distribution you're using, but anything before 3.2.0b4 snapshots of July or later are hopelessly buggy, so if you haven't already done so I recommend updating to the latest 3.2.0b4 snapshot (http://www.htdig.org/files/snapshots/). The latest snapshots (both 3.1.6 and 3.2.0b4) also have improved handling of noindex tags in the HTML parser, to prevent conflicts between different pairs of tags. They also feature handling of <noindex follow>...</noindex> tags, which is akin to one of the features you (Jamie) requested. I'm not sure why you want or need multiple levels of noindex tags, though, other than maybe to work around bugs in the pre-August parser. -- Gilles R.
