Can someone tell me what this error message from my server log is
trying to tell me?

  27106: 1: Jan 26 17:06:37 1993: 100: Init message: waisq WAIS release

This seems to pop up whenever I (or waismail) does a retrieval with
waisretrieve (I don't get it with WAISstation  or waissearch).  Note
that the proper document is indeed being returned.  However, a friend
at another site reports that when she does a waismail search on my
databases she is getting empty documents or (inappropriately) uuencoded
documents (her searches cause a 'retrieval beyond bounds message in my
log).

To complicate the issue, I didn't start seeing this until yesterday.
I've been busily adding material to the databases (but they are not
huge). Ive rebuilt the indexes from scratch, but that had no effect.

If it helps, this is b5.1 running on an RS6000 under AIX ver. 3.
The index mentioned above happens to be type PARA, but it is happening
in all my databases.

Most curious,
Thanks,
