Thanks for the points. I do a reindex whenever there's a distribution that has previously been indexed by PAUSE, but suddenly goes missing from the index, for whatever reason. This has happened several times. But this time I did a 'reindex *' which is an overkill. I've added a warning and delay to the tool.
