Check your CONFIG file carefully, especially the settings for DEST and
CONFIG_DIR, as well as DEFAULT_CONFIG_FILE. It seems to me that the
colon after the "f" may be missing. Also, if you're using backslashes
("\") instead of slashes ("/") in any filenames, try slashes instead,
as they're less likely to cause problems.

That "file size not a multiple of the pagesize" error seems to be an
increasingly frequent complaint among htdig users on Cygwin. I suspect
the problem may be related to the newer releases of the Cygwin toolkit.
Jim Kerslake used 1.1.3 when he wrote his Idiot's Guide, and you're trying
1.3.2. I'd suggest going back to that version, or perhaps something else
in the 1.1.x series, and see if that makes the problem go away.

Again, I'd try another Cygwin version to see if this problem goes away.
By the looks of it, there's some database corruption happening, so that
could be leading htsearch to go haywire. If the problem persists, even
if the pagesize problem above disappears with another version, then see
if you can get a usable stack backtrace that would tell us what htsearch
was doing at the time of the violation.

Hey, it wasn't my choice of name, but we tend to stay with what is contributed
and leave it at that.

Again, I'd like to know if a different version of Cygwin fixes this.
I don't run Cygwin myself, but my Linux based htdig 3.1.5 has no trouble
at all with the file you sent.

It may be they dropped it, or incorporated it into another DLL in the latest
version. Check the documentation. This may be moot if you have to go back
to the older 1.1.x series.
