There is a bug in htnotify that affects certain compiler/OS platforms in
this manner. If you don't need htnotify, the easiest fix is to simply
remove it from the rundig script. If you do have a need for htnotify,
then define the htnotify_prefix_file and htnotify_suffix_file attributes
so that they point at real files.

   http://www.htdig.org/attrs.html#htnotify_suffix_file

If you want to correct the problem at the source code level, there is a
patch floating around somewhere in the patch archive, but I don't have a
URL handy at the moment.
