sup talk - Jun 2008 - sup crashes while performing general searches

Hi,

I''m mailing the list as prompted to do so by the cute crash banner.

I''m just trying sup out for the first several times, and I''ve
added a single Maildir source in my local home directory.

I find that when doing a general search ("\") that returns more than 5
results or so, sup crashes.

For example, when I do a general search for "banana", I get two
messages in my inbox just fine. However, if I perform a search for
"hello" (should be ~80 results), sup crashes with the attached error.

Hi Jonathan,

Reformatted excerpts from Jonathan Lassoff''s message of
2008-06-18:
> --- RuntimeError from thread: load threads for thread-index-mode
> invalid source 2
It looks like there''s a source referenced in your index file that
didn''t
appear in your sources.yaml. Did you manually edit your list of sources,
or somehow otherwise create this situation? Deleting a source from the
list may also do this.

The quick answer is to regenerate your index from scratch; then
everything should be synced up with your sources.yaml file. Something
like:
   rm -rf ~/.sup/ferret
   sup-sync --all-sources

Of course that may take some time, depending on how much email you have.
