Currently I have a database that has only seen added documents (and 
doesn't contain errors) and the same database that has seen about 1700 
"document changes", where about half was a replacement and half a new 
document (which does contain errors).

These databases where created without any system crash or other 
interruption, there weren't even concurrent searches in that same 
database at the time of its creation.

If you think it has any use to have a look at those two postlist's and 
their differences, let me know.

Best regards,
