Except that you have to ‘use List::Util::XS 1’ (with a dummy version  
number [anything below 1.22 will do]), because ‘use List::Util::XS’  
won’t do the trick. :-(

There was a problem with the script, so I had to run it overnight  
again. (It uses bandwidth, which I have to share with others, so it  
has to be at night.)

And then it turns out there was nothing wrong with the index.

The problem is that, if highlight_spans returns undef instead of [],  
we get another bus error. This is easy enough to work around, but  
‘return [] unless ...’ is a unintuitive. And it seems your intention  
was to support undef:

Fix segfaulting bug in Host_callback_obj when the supplied argument is
something other than either a KinoSearch object or undef.

If you don’t have time or don’t want to fix this, I’ll release another  
KSx::Search::RegexpTermQuery.
