   Search misbehaving

   Two weeks ago I had to do a fresh install. All is now pretty well back   
   to normal, except for Search.   
      
   I have three hard disks on the system, 1x SATA and 2x USB, with a total   
   of 9 partitions, which I recently tried to search all of for a certain   
   file of which there were 4x instances of on the three drives. My third   
   disk was added to use for backup, following my recent reinstall. So   
   this really is the first time I have run search with three disks   
   installed.   
      
   The search took quite a while and a long way into it, the screen   
   started to corrupt, starting with the search window, gradually   
   spreading to other windows and eventually crashing the other software   
   running at the same time. The only error I could find was one   
   complaining of 'error ad 3875-d' which I think is associated with   
   Mailwasher, which was running at the time. The only way to get things   
   back to normal is to reboot, loging out and back in doesn't help.   
   Search does this evertime it is run and there seems to be plenty of   
   spare memory and CPU resources when it happens - other than that, there   
   are no issues.   
      
   Has anyone come across this problem before/ found a solution please?
