Ah, ok... the installed (stripped) xapian.so in /usr/lib/tcl8.3 is
3994416 bytes...
Sorry for the alarm, I've just never seen that happen before :)


By the way, I haven't been able to find examples for using TCL bindings
with Xapian -- does anyone have some?
TCL is very foreign to me :(

pgsql supports PL/Tcl:
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/7.4/interactive/pltcl.html
so I'm looking into using that to interface with xapian...
