Looking at your email again.
You are confusing the initial writing of postings with the segment merging.
Once the doc number is written, the .frq file is not changed. The segment
merge process will write to a new .frq file.
Make sense?

It is in DocumentWriter.java class.
Look at writePostings(...) method.
Here are the lines:
// add an entry to the freq file
int f = posting.freq;
if (f == 1) // optimize freq=1
freq.writeVInt(1); // set low bit of doc num.
else {
freq.writeVInt(0); // the document number
freq.writeVInt(f); // frequency in doc
}
Any other question?
