I ran "phrase-o" in GDB and hit Control-Z to stop it where it hangs. 
Here is a backtrace:

#0  0x19bddb in _IO_default_uflow () from /lib/libc.so.6
#1  0x19b145 in __uflow () from /lib/libc.so.6
#2  0x198181 in getc () from /lib/libc.so.6
#3  0x804cbe9 in readFileEntry ()
#4  0x80540b8 in getindexfilenum ()
#5  0x804ea20 in search ()
#6  0x80567cc in main ()
#7  0x164cae in __libc_start_main () from /lib/libc.so.6

Looks like the problem may be occuring in readFileEntry().  I see
definite pontential for this type of problem in that function.
