In the catalog.build_catalog method, a subprocess is created using the subprocess_method.Mopen method to update the search database in the background.

Is there a reason why this isn't done with a thread? Threads are a more efficient way to do this (no need for a fork) and they are portable to other operating systems.

Thanks.
Tom
