I've been using htdig for a few months now on a debian woody server on my 
home office lan. It runs nightly indexing an apache server site on my win 
xp workstation.

Occassionally there's a failure in the overnight cron run for unknown 
reasons and the search engine is unavailable - giving no results on 
queries. Here's what I find :

/etc/cron.daily/htdig:
/usr/bin/rundig: line 45: 12549 Segmentation fault      $BINDIR/htdig 
$inital $opts $stats $alt

I understand that segmentation faults are pretty generic, how can I try and 
track down the cause of this error?

tia,

Marty
