This is an internal error, which you should never see. :)  KS is  
trying to read from byte 18446744073709545189 in a "file" (actually a  
virtual file within a compound file) which is only 228 bytes long.

Either the input stream has gotten out of sync and has read in  
something wrong, or (less likely) there's been a memory error.

KS passes its test suite and the US constitution search works  
correctly on Perl OS X 10.4, FreeBSD 5.3, and an old RedHat 9  
system.  What system are you on?  What version of Perl?

Is the error 100% consistent?
