Yes, I've also noticed that your htsearch is reporting incorrect file sizes in results, which is another indication that it's not reading the db.docdb records correctly. Running htmerge isn't enough - that will rebuild the db.docs.index and db.words.db, which is good, but it won't rebuild the db.docdb, which is bad. You should upgrade both systems to the latest 3.1.6 snapshot in http://www.htdig.org/files/snapshots/, and then you can use htdump on the linux box to get a text version of db.docdb (in db.docs), then copy db.docs and db.wordlist (both ASCII files) to SunOS and run htload and htmerge to rebuild the databases correctly. -- Gilles R.
