You are correct. The htfuzzy program is not needed for exact or substring
searches. The documentation for the search_algorithm attribute provides a
good summary where htfuzzy is and isn't required.

Assuming that you didn't compile everything statically the first time,
chances are there is some sort of library dependency this is no longer
valid. This could easily explain both the coredumps and the problem with
htnotify. Depending on the version you are using, there is also a known
issue with htnotify that might have been tickled by your migration.

Another thing to try with regard to htfuzzy, if you have not already
done so, is to delete any existing database that htfuzzy may have
generated before the migration.

If circumstances allow, you could also give some thought to deleting
the current package altogether and rebuilding for the new platform.
