Hi,

I'm not sure but the negative seeking pos could be caused by an overflow
of some sort. Maybe a large file problem? What does your index look like
with 'ls -l'?

Could you try reproducing this on a copy of your index with a small
script with plain Ferret, and then retry with 0.11.6? 

Cheers,
Jens
