The merge option is broken.  Merging two index files seems
to be successful:

    swish -M index1.swish index2.swish combined_index.swish

But any attempt to search the merged index fails:

    swish -w word combined_index.swish  # This just hangs.

This is a serious problem at our site, because the volume of
documents is growing rapidly and we'd like to partition the
indexing into tasks that can be distributed across several hosts.
