Hi,


Ok, I just commited the  modifs to check compression version and abort
with  an explicit  message if  there is  a mismatch.  This  will avoid
unexplicit errors like the core Vadim found.

However, I  don't happen  to have  any older db's  so, if  someone can
check if it aborts correctly with good error messages.

Uh, by the ways,  in my code, when an "assert" fails  I print an error
message and force a core dump  (*NULL=0). So don't panic if there is a
core dump after an error message. This is for debuging purposes (gdb).
This is certainly NOT a good way to do things in a released version!

* How are catastrophic errors supposed to be dealt with in htdig?
* This leads to a bigger question of error processing.... is the
standard C++ error mechanism portable enough to be used?


Cheers,

Marcel.
