Huh?  If the problem is that the database files are growing larger than
their limit of 2G -- and that seems to be the issue based on all the old
mail in my mailbox -- then we look for files that are getting too large:

  if test -n `find /sourceware/htdig/gcc/db -type f -size +1887436k`; then
     echo hey, the dbfiles are over 1.8GB, getting close, go investigate!
  fi

I find it amazing that we can't at least *monitor* the indexing progress
with automated tools.  Or that nobody's even willing to try.

Likewise, I can't parse that.
