boolean terms in phrase - bug?

 When I try to perform a boolean search with a phrase that contains a
boolean keyword, htsearch seems to spin indefinitely. For example, a
boolean search for:

 '"black and white" and color not grey'

 will cause htsearch to consume 100% CPU resources and not seem to end
until it is sent a sighup.

 However, if I remove the 'and' from the phrase:

 '"black white" and color not grey' 

 this works without any problems. 

 This problem happens with any boolean term (and, not & or) and will
cause a problem even if the boolean logic is broken within the phrase: 

 '"black white and" and color not grey'

 also spins indefinitely (without a boolean error message).

 Is this a known problem? I'm currently running a 3.2.0b5 snapshot, has
it been fixed in 3.2.0b6?


Cheers,

Chris
