Hi Jose,


The screen output of swish-e seems to stop after:

no words removed.
Writing main index...
Computing hash table ...
Writing header ...
Writing index entries ...

In another shell:
# ps x|grep swish-e
  1664 pts/0    D     14:14 swish-e -c linux.conf
..

# gdb swish-e 1664
GNU gdb 19991004
..
This GDB was configured as "i386-redhat-linux"...
..
Attaching to program: /usr/local/bin/swish-e, Pid 1664
Reading symbols from /lib/libm.so.6...done.
Reading symbols from /lib/libc.so.6...done.
Reading symbols from /lib/ld-linux.so.2...done.
0x8051730 in gettotalwords ()
(gdb) continue
Continuing.

This just seems to take forever.

The RSS is 72 Megabyte at this point, I have 96Mb RAM, (pentium II 233)

the linux.swish index file is being written:
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root       678830 Aug 29 16:19 linux.swish

a minute or so later:
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root       755341 Aug 29 16:20 linux.swish

.. (1 night sleep) ...

-rw-r--r--    1 root     root     23782394 Aug 30 03:22 linux.swish

It is however just a lengthy process, 11 hours
'Linux' contains 106869 words, 7113 files

I'll compare it to swish-e.1.3.3 from my source tree, I'll report to the list.
