I am also unable to duplicate the problem. I am currently using
Mac OS X 10.2 (6C115).

Going back to the basics, how are you indexing? Are you using
the rundig script? Are you aware that by default rundig always
calls htdig with the -i option, causing the current databases
to be deleted before it starts indexing?

I apologize in advance if I am suggesting the obvious to you
here; but a couple symptoms you describe make it sound like the
databases are being deleted and then rebuilt from scratch.
