 Either xapian-compact is corrupting the data, or the data is corrupt to
 begin with (even though xapian-check reports source indexes are ok).

 How to reproduce:

 Extract tgz file (creates two folders: index1 & temp.index1).

 Check sources:

 # xapian-check-1.1  index1/

 # xapian-check-1.1  temp.index1/

 (both should test OK).

 # mkdir dst



 Test1 - compacts OK:

 # xapian-compact-1.1 temp.index1/ dst

 # xapian-check-1.1  dst

 (should check out OK).



 Test2 - compact reports OK, but check fails:

 # rm dst/*

 # xapian-compact-1.1  index1/ dst

 # xapian-check-1.1  dst

 (reports errors in postlist).

 Needless to say, compacting both index1 and temp.index1 into dst will
 compact OK, but the check will fail.
