Yeah, the typical completely incomprehensible Ferret error message.
Current known things that make Ferret generate scary messages:
- running more than one process touching the index at the same time (Sup
  locks the index now so this shouldn't happen unless you are being
  particularly devious)
- having too many open filehandles, including too many "usual" mbox
  sources at the moment until I fix the mbox code not to keep
  filehandles open all the time.
- running out of disk space.

Could it have been any of those?
