[htdig] WordKey::Compare: key length for a or b < info.num_length

[Abbie Greene]

I just tried running HTDig 3.2.0b4 on a new set of files and received what seemed like millions of the following error message:   WordKey::Compare: key length for a or b < info.num_length   HTdig was working perfectly yesterday for me, however it was also on a set of 4000 files…I now have 26000 files it’s running against.  I realize this is MOST likely the problem as I’ve reached the outer limits of this system.  Now my question is this…  Would it make a difference to set up separate databases to reduce the size of each database (however each database would still be an index of at least 5000 files).  I’m just curious how other people of dealt with this issue in the past.   Thanks in advance.   Abbie
