[htdig] FYI: htfuzzy dumps core on broken synonym file

[Neil K. <nk...@ma...>]

Hi, all.

I'm running htdig 3.1.6 on Solaris 7/sparc.=20

I was trying to build a custom synonym database with htfuzzy and it kept =
segfaulting and dumping core. I could successfully rebuild the synonyms.db =
from the distribution so I figured there was something wrong with my =
synonyms file.=20

Sure enough, there was one term that didn't have any synonyms - it was a =
single word on a line by itself.

Just putting this out to the list in case someone runs into similar =
problems in the future, and as a suggestion for a mod to htfuzzy: graceful =
handling of bad lines in the synonyms file.
