ferret segfaulting

[anonymous]

Hi, I notice in our stderr log (we use litespeed server for our rails app and AAF) it is filled with these: /var/lib/gems/1.8/gems/ferret-0.11.6/lib/ferret/index.rb:768: [BUG] Segmentation fault ruby 1.8.5 (2006-08-25) [i486-linux]

It happens every couple of days, more often if our site gets more traffic. Unfortunately litespeed doesn't have a timestamp in its stderr log, so I can't track it back to the query that produces this. If you have any ideas on what might be causing this, it would be appreciated. Have been having this problem for as long as we've been using ferret (1yr+), so I don't think its anything new that you've added.

Thanks, I'm working on this.

Hey Dave, Any update on this? Thanks, Chris

I'm working on increasing the test coverage in Ferret 100% (or as near as I can get). That is unfortunately the best I can do without a test script to reproduce the error. If you or anyone else would like to help out and speed things up, working out how to reproduce the error would be great. There has been a lot of work done in Ferret since the last release. The reason I haven't put out another release yet is that there have been changes to the index format and there could be some. I want to get all index format changes into a single release so everyone only needs to update their index once.
