It appears that the database is inconsistent - the document is listed in
the posting lists for at least 3 terms, but there seems to be no entry
in the record table for it (the record table holds the document data).

It's probably just that there are several such documents, and you happen
to hit a different one first.

I don't yet know what's wrong, but the simplest solution is to probably
drop back to 0.8.1 and reindex.

If I can't fix this quickly, I may switch the download page back to
0.8.1.

What is the extra line?  It may be we can check for IRIX and the SGI
compiler in configure and enable the fix automatically.
