We are using LPI-COBOL 040204 with LPIRUN 010000 on NCR Tower 6x0s
and have been experiencing a number of cases of index corruption.

We are using the two file setup with a .dat and a .idx.

The problem seems to be occuring most on one particular file which has
quite a large key (23 bytes), I don't know if this is linked to the problem.

We do have other files which get corrupted but nowhere near as many as 
LPI files and the large key one in particular.

Not knowing the format of the indexed file I cannot tell what has gone
wrong but a sequential indexed read fails with an
Unhandled condition SIGSEGV (segmentation violation I expect).

The isam is listed as version 020800 if thats any help.

Any information greatly appreciated.

Regards
