[Xapian-discuss] Database Corrupt Error

I am getting this error when trying to remove a document from my Xapian
database via writabledatabase_delete_document:

"DatabaseCorruptError: Db block overwritten - are there multiple writers?"

There might have been two processes trying to write to it earlier today, but
currently only one process can touch it at a time, and I still receive the
error.

Is there a fast way to fix this problem or do I need to rebuild the whole
Xapian database?

We're running Xapian 0.8.3 via SWIG/PHP.

Thanks,
Mike.
