Sorry, the coffee is interfering with my ESP.

If that's not a good option then your other options are to either read the
docs for the spider (perldoc spider.pl) which offer some debugging tips,
or post again paying attention to

http://swish-e.org/current/docs/INSTALL.html#When_posting_please_provide_the_following_information_

For example, you could post the config file you are using and the URL that's
causing the problem.
