Hi!
Please copy out the files as requested in that email - I'm sure Tom is
still interested in debugging it to find the issue. After that, try a
REINDEX to see if it solves your problem.
And while you're at it, you guys should be at 8.2.7, not 8.2.4.. :-P
There are some index fixes between those versions (specifically in
8.2.5), but I don't know the details of them enough to say if this
could be the problem you're hitting.
