[KinoSearch] Error in KinoSearch::Searcher::search

[Karel K.]

Dear Marvin,

thanks for your reply.  I just wanted to make sure first, whether this
is a known problem.

This error occurred on a Debian 64-bit system (testing and
experimental combined) with Perl 5.8.8.  I will try to reproduce the
error on similar Debian systems to narrow down the possible cause.  I
want to make sure whether there is a difference between 64 and 32bit
systems, as Debian 64bit might be the cause of such such errors.  I
will also check whether the error is related to a specific Perl
version.  As soon as I have isolated the problem I will send send you
more information.

Thanks for your help,
karel
