I've seen some people who run buffindexed have that problem,
though my server in production has never been happened to so
far. This happens, if the server has crashed, but I also
have a suspection that this may be an OS specific issue.
Could someone who has this problem raise your hand and tell
me which Unix box is running?

That would be. And it should not be done, since overview
data could be duplicated and this leads to incorrect number
of articles in responding to 'GRUOP'.
