I see. That rules out binary incompatibility, doesn't it! ;-)

Oooh! Search engine spamming! You were right earlier when you said
something evil and nasty was happening on that site!

You could probably insert something like this at the start of the
switch statment case 0 clause that handles the title tag, at line 390
of htdig/HTML.cc (in version 3.1.1), just before in_title is set to 1:
if (title.length())
{
if (debug)
cout << "More than one <title> tag in document!"
<< " (possible search engine spamming)" << endl;
break;
}
And again, at the start of the case 1 clause, before resetting in_title
to 0, insert this:
if (!in_title)
break;
This should make any additional titles be indexed just like regular text.
I haven't tried it, though, so test carefully. Let me know how it goes.
This may be worth including in the next release.

Glad I could steer you in the right direction.
