I've had a single crash on x86, but it may have been due to BLODA since the second run completed. > * I can reproduce that mandb -cd doesn't crash but it doesn't complete > successfully either; the difference being if there is a > /var/cache/man/index.db or just a numbered file there (the PID, > specifically). So that is not really a solution. On most machines, including all new installs of x86_64 during the last week, man-db didn't crash. The crashes I've had before cuold be resolved by starting man-db in debug mode and the index DB is certainly present, otherwise man wouldn't find any apropos. > * On x86_64, increasing the stack commit size seems to help: > > peflags -X0x20000 /usr/bin/mandb.exe > > (Note that is a capital X.)

See above, although I do an incremental rebase after each install that also corrects PE flags (not touching the stacksize though). New installs get a full rebase obviously.
