They are all not stemmed, so that should not be the problem. However, they 
they certainly have different metanames and properties defined. Is this a 
problem, and if yes, is there any way to get around this problem?

Do all three indexes have identical metanames/properties defined?

I see that error in the metanames.c file and I wonder if there is a 
problem trying to search all three indexes if they have different header 
info? Or is stemming on in one of them?
