Is this index on a shared volume?
http://incubator.apache.org/lucy/docs/perl/Lucy/Index/Indexer.html
If an index is located on a shared volume, each writer application must
identify itself by supplying an IndexManager with a unique host id to
Indexer's constructor or index corruption will occur. See
Lucy::Docs::FileLocking for a detailed discussion.
