So I have two questions - first, are there any reasons I'm overlooking to use htnotify, and if there are then two, has anyone had this problem on Linux and found that the Solaris patch fixed it? I'm not sure exactly what version of Linux is on this server; I know it's RedHat and I think it's ES 3 but I'm not positive.
The htnotify patch should work fine with operating systems other than Solaris. This particular bug is sort of hit and miss depending on platform and compiler. It just happens that the person who submitted the patch ran into it on Solaris.
A solution that allows you to keep using htnotify without the effort of patching is to define the htnotify_prefix_file and htnotify_suffix_file attributes. The bug is triggered by the attempt to read the prefix and suffix files, which are empty strings with a default configuration.
If you have no need for the notification, the simplest fix is to simply drop the call to htnotify. The program's tasks are limited to generating the notification and have no effect on the resulting databases.
