This message seems to have gotten lost in the torrent, so is it safe
to assume you've gotten past this problem somehow?  Your assessment of
rundig is correct, although if you configure your htdig.conf properly,
rundig will index your site and not htdig.org.  You can even use rundig
for daily database rebuilds if you have a small site (it takes about 4
min on my site right now).

I've never seen the "method meaningless before open" error before, but
something obviously messed up.  If it's still a problem, is there any
other error message before the first of those thousand or so messages?
