Hi Bill --

Yes, the ".txt" file in question has a BUNCH of embedded nulls in it, for  
starters... ;-)

Yup.  The backtrace is appended below.  I put the config file back to having  
"IgnoreLimit 50 1000" set, and it's indexing ".txt" and ".html" files only.  
(It found two possible embedded nulls and warned.)  It appears to have  
finished indexing, then crashed...

Cheers,
	Rick
