My apologies Chris, and thanks for catching it. But I'm very curious as to 
why this might be hazardous in a package environment (we're tarball users 
as I think you know.)

I have to re-index at least once an hour when our cataloguers are working 
(see bug 9511) and there might be others like me. Does Zebra from a 
"package" install catch the deleted/overwritten biblios? I genuinely had 
missed any announcement of Zebra functionality being different - mea culpa.

Thanks and best regards - Paul

P.S. I would add that Dr Rostam's library system is still giving a 404 for 
any search, so maybe someone else can assist him?
