segv on lookup?

[Fairlight]

Top-post...

The table that's been working fine until just now?  Now it's started doing
a segv when called from the calling table that was working fine before all
the segv nonsense started.

An strace shows that it -may- be a corrupted index.

I've tried:  dxmaint pevent -ra

...But it just brings up the dxmaint menu.  I thought it was supposed to
rebuild all indexes.

How do I force that rebuild?  I think it prudent to try, before spending
hours diagnosing something that may be a simple data corruption,
investigating it as a code issue.
