Um, no.  Perhaps I made myself sound more knowledgeable than I am ;)  I will 
try that.

The rundig.sh script handles using htmerge after htdig; I just captured the 
script output during the test dig of the htdig website.

The case-sensitivity would be great!

Yes, I renamed the htdig "Regex.h" to something silly like "Regexper.h" and 
changed the references to it.

Thank you for your suggestions; I will try them.  Note that I was not just 
referring to 3.1.2B3; after my troubles with that I went back to try 3.1.5, 
which used to compile fine for me, and now gives the broken DB behavior.  
3.1.2B3 gives me a stackdump on htdig, before I even get to htmerge!
