I've been fiddling some more, and it stopped complaining about
locking the group.index file.  It might have been just a mismatch
between the Debian config and what I had ./configured CURRENT to be.

So, it started creating new overview files, but they were kinda, er,
not valid.  The following patch seems to fix things.

I didn't download CURRENT from CVS; I just grabbed the CURRENT
snapshot from the ftp server.  Could this be from an outdated version
of overdata.c, or am I just doing something totally wacky?
