Thanks for the response, Andrzej.

I should have specified. I didn't run index after merging. I just did
bin/nutch mergesegs -dir mydb/segments (no -i or -ds options).
Then I immediately do a segread on the new merged segment.
And the list of URLs are different -- mostly missing URLs, but also
some "new" URLs.

I find the addition of new URLs in the merged segments especially
puzzling. Where do they come from? Is segread lying to me about
what's in the original segments?

I checked the segread output on the deleted URLs and I don't
find anything strange in their status.

I have a feeling that the mergesegs dedup is what is causing the
problem since when I commented out this code, the list of urls
is the same before and after merging. It's possible that I have
some sort of corruption in the original segments that is causing
unpredictable behavior in the mergesegs dedup code.

I don't have a minimal fetchlist right now. I'll see if I can get one
together. I wouldn't be surprised if the problem only occurred after
getting a significant number of pages.

Thanks,
