Ferret crashes with multi boolean query

[lsansonetti@…]

I have a full reproducible Ferret crash. My environment is Mac OS X 10.4, and I reproduce the crash with various versions of Ruby (1.8.4 and 1.8.6).

$ cat /tmp/foo.rb

#!/usr/bin/ruby

require 'rubygems'
require 'ferret'

index = Ferret::Index::Index.new()

index << {:id => 1, :title => "foo", :content => "Do you want to quit?"}

index.search_each('content:"Do|you|want|to|stop"') do |id, score, title|
end

$ ruby /tmp/foo.rb
/System/Library/Frameworks/Ruby.framework/Versions/1.8/usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/ferret-0.11.4/lib/ferret/index.rb:384: [BUG] Bus Error
ruby 1.8.6 (2007-03-13) [universal-darwin9.0]

Reformatted ticket to syntax highlight correctly.

Fixed. Problem was caused by removing stopwords from a multi term query so that leaving the resulting boolean query with null clauses. I've actually changed the code to use the more efficient MultiTermQuery?, although the speed difference will be negligible.
