Hello!

Still on GNU/Hurd:

    hurd-web at foobar:~$ ikiwiki -setup hurd-web.setup --render hurd-web/colophon.mdwn            
    *** stack smashing detected ***: /usr/bin/debugperl terminated
    Aborted
    hurd-web at foobar:~$ mv hurd-web/.ikiwiki/indexdb{,.}
    hurd-web at foobar:~$ ikiwiki -setup hurd-web.setup --render hurd-web/colophon.mdwn

    </html>
    hurd-web at foobar:~$ mv hurd-web/.ikiwiki/indexdb{.,}
    hurd-web at foobar:~$ ikiwiki -setup hurd-web.setup --render hurd-web/colophon.mdwn
    *** stack smashing detected ***: /usr/bin/debugperl terminated
    Aborted

So, the indexdb got corrupted in a way that would make Perl go bonkers.
Is someone interested in debugging this?  Otherwise I'll simply have
ikiwiki regenerate this file, and hope that it doesn't get corrupted
again.

The offer for an account still holds, too.
