Some Common Error Messages

Returning without an answer -- Sometimes seen when running xpatbldu, especially when the server is loaded. There may be a bug in xpatbldu that's triggered under certain conditions related to the size of memory allocated for the indexing process. If, for example, your index build command is xpatbldu -m 256m -D $DLXSROOT/idx/c/coll/coll.dd, try changing the memory to 255 or 254.
pitstge -- Sometimes seen when searching for a word in an index that is somehow corrupted and/or truncated. For example, pitstge: n = 154526 out of range. Size = 136844. Searches in the index prior to the area of corruption/truncation work, which can mislead you into believing that it is a problem with the query. You will need to reindex to treat this error.
