I've noticed that sometimes when I query the Index file
the program returns the headers but it halts and it never comes back.
This is an example of a normal query :

 bin/swish-e -w alfredo -f MAGMA.swish
# SWISH-E format 1.1
# Search words: alfredo
# Name: Index of Magma Communications Ltd.
# Saved as: MAGMA.swish
# Counts: 31081 files

This is an example when it halts:

 bin/swish-e -w computer -f MAGMA.swish
# SWISH-E format 1.1

# Saved as: MAGMA.swish

It just sits there until is killed, several of this processes cause a
big drain in my system
has anyone experienced this kind of problem before ?

I tried swish-e 1.2 and swish-e 1.3 but this ones complain too much
about memory,
swish-e 1.1 seems to overcome this issue altough I have to create small
files and merge them in
a very unique way to get my final index file.
