Yep.  I noticed this when I first started using htdig.  While the "-a"
and "-i" options are documented, what happens when they are used
together is not.  But it is very easy to figure out.

My script looks very similar to yours, but with a little error
checking.  With large indexes you may need to careful that you have
enough room to make a copy of the entire database.
