There were some problems with the assert function around post #280.

My solution to these was to turn assert warnings off using the single line of code:

PHP Code:

assert_options(ASSERT_ACTIVE, false); 


You can do this in the api file or in sphinx.php

I've just re-indexed with the post table at a min word length of 3. As you can see from the command line the process was niced at 20 and there were 400 active users on the site. I'm hugely impressed by this implemention.
