The database format hasn't changed between 3.1.4 and 3.1.6, so I would guess that any incompatibilities are likely due to perhaps using different versions of the Cygwin toolkit to build the binaries for each htdig version. The main question, then, is do all the 3.1.6 binaries work reliably for you on your system. If so, then your best bet would be to do away with 3.1.4 and use 3.1.6 only, and rebuild all your databases with 3.1.6. If the 3.1.6 binaries aren't working reliably, you should try to backtrack to the Cygwin version you were using when you built the 3.1.4 binaries, and see if you can build reliable 3.1.6 binaries from that. -- Gilles R.
