I've had the same problem with the large file patch. I couldn't figure
out a fix, but I worked around it by trimming the excerpts to the last
150 characters:
highlights.collect do |excerpt|
if excerpt.length <= 150
excerpt
else
excerpt[-150..-1]
end
end
This is ugly, and it chops up words, but it seems to work.
I wondered if this might have something to do with Ferret's low-level IO
routines: is_read_u64, os_read_u64, is_read_u32, etc. Maybe the wrong
ones are being used for reading and writing the offsets in the segment
file, now that Kyle's patch has changed the offsets from type int to
type offset_t.
