  Please submit the fix.

  Correct!  I don't use rundig myself..

FYI:  A couple of us are in the process of reworking HtDig's code code for 
HtDig 4.0.  You can see the progress reports here

http://htdig.blogspot.org & http://opensource.rightnow.com/htdig.php

I think the current version in the trunk of CVS is more or less DEAD.

Feel free to participate in HtDig 4.0, see the CVS branch for 4.0.  At 
this point we could use help reworking the htsearch CGI.  basically we 
need to first gut it so that it does little accept respond as a CGI 
should.. then we'll add the calls to the new search engine and display the 
results.

A cool set of other-language bindings for search would be awesome as 
well.. along the lines of what has been done for CLucene.

Thanks
