ok, i will start on some of this at some point. in the short term, 
however, rolling back to 2.4.3 has fixed the problem and i am going to 
push new indexes to my production servers. My question is now is, when i 
roll the swish-e back from 2.4.4 to 2.4.3 on the production machines, 
should i replace the perl stuff? I know i can't make use of Peter's SAS 
stuff, but i am going to stick with SWISH::API in the short term anyway.

yeah, right, i guess i will see for myself if i need to rewind the perl 
stuff.

bill, i will follow your suggestions below when i have some time to chase 
this further, but it seems to be some version wonkiness.
