Hi,

I’m trying to reindex a model (I’m using acts\_as\_ferret) after having  
added (via metaprogramming) a large number of fields (several hundred)  
to the index.

It keeps crashing when trying to rebuild the index (the crash log is  
below, from ferret\_server.out) but it only seems to crash on Linux  
(Ubuntu server 7.04, x86-64) whereas it’s fine on my OS X laptop  
(10.5.1). This is with ferret 0.11.4 in both cases.

Any thoughts? Is there a hard field limit in ferret?
