[Xapian-discuss] Xapian::DatabaseModifiedError

[Jim Spath]

Hi,

We recently started running into the Xapian::DatabaseModifiedError 
problem under Perl (ticket #284), due to a change in the way we update 
our database.

I noticed that newer versions of Xapian are supposed to deal with this 
problem (ticket #284), so we upgraded to 1.0.12.

I now am able to properly trap the error, most of the time, by using 
eval and checking $@ to see if it matches "revision being read has been 
discarded".

The problem is that every once in a while I still see a segfault:

terminate called after throwing an instance of 
'Xapian::DatabaseModifiedError'
Aborted

I have been unable to determine why the segfaults still sometimes occur 
... any suggestions?

Thanks!
Jim
