Yes, with all releases of htdig up to and including 3.1.1, there was a
problem with an empty exclude_urls list.  As Geoff put it a few weeks
ago...  (One caveat... Currently, if you make exclude_urls empty,
it will ignore *all* URLs. So instead, set it to something that cannot
occur, like !-no-url-! and it won't exclude anything on the servers it
indexes.)

This has been fixed for the next release (3.1.2) and will soon be merged
into the 3.2 development version.  ht://Dig does not generally barf on
blank tags, though.  This was one exception.
