I don't understand the way htdig's -a option works because it doesn't seem to be 
working 100% of the
time for me.  I made an initial dig.  Next I moved the database files to a new 
directory.  In that
new directory, I have the following files:

-rw-r--r--   1 htdig    www      788894720 Apr 14 23:23 db.docdb
-rw-r--r--   1 htdig    www       7619584 Apr 21 11:16 db.docdb.work
-rw-r--r--   1 htdig    www       9588736 Apr 14 23:23 db.docs.index
-rw-r--r--   1 htdig    www      1144144705 Apr 21 11:16 db.wordlist.work
-rw-r--r--   1 htdig    www      935610368 Apr 14 19:49 db.words.db

When I execute /usr/local/htdig/htdig -v -a -s -c htdig.conf (which sets the 
database_dir attribute
to the directory containing the files listed above, it does not seem to be using any 
of the existing
.work files to do the update or to speed things up.  The digging from scratch takes 
several days
because of the size, but for the updating it should take less time.  I've seen the 
verbose output
from htdig report: "Not changed" in the past on small updates when the database files 
stay in the
same directory, but now it seems to be http requesting the documents as if it was 
doing an initial
dig, and this will take too long.  The output reports the size of the files instead of 
"Not
changed".  What am I doing wrong?  Any help would be appreciated.
