Thanks Robin, you're quite right of course.  In fact, I'm only using these 
rather non-standard methods as a temp measure for testing the sandbox 3.8.5 
-- I even tried it with a double " -v " to increase it's verbosity and the 
file size is not too bad (and the sandbox has no email capability at this 
time). Sorry I wasn't more clear in my first email.

Thanks for that. I'll dig a bit deeper later on, as I must be missing a 
subtlety: it appears to run the "standard" rebuild-zebra in chunks, with 
output and logging separate. From the bug, it seems to be designed to 
locate failures within rebuild-zebra. My "standard" reindexing completes 
every time (full and incremental) with just the three "[warn]s" but not 
failures, and the output from this tool *apparently* doesn't record them as 
such -- grep -i "\[warn\]" gives nothing in either the record or the log 
files -- but maybe there's other messages that will help.

CLEANING
====================
NOTHING cleaned : the export /tmp/rebuild/export has been kept.
You can re-run this script with the -s parameter
if you just want to rebuild zebra after changing the record.abs

If anyone remembers what that is, I would really appreciate.

Again thanks and best regards - Paul
