error log shows:

[Tue Feb  6 14:20:04 2001] [notice] child pid 564 exit signal Bus Error (10)

this is primarily related to indexing project gutenberg, http://florismart.cddc.vt.edu/gutenberg
my indexer udmsearch reports the etext directories as returning bad httpd headers, and when i attempt to view 
them by browsing it returns error 10 above...
>How-To-Repeat:
http://florismart.cddc.vt.edu/gutenberg/etext97 works all other etext directories fail http://florismart.cddc.vt.edu/gutenberg 
>Fix:
