>Description:
I tried migrating one of our databases to Gnats 4. Among other things, I had to 
regenerate the index file.

I first tried leaving the default setting of "binary-index true". gen-index 
generated a faulty index, with queries bombing with the error message

622 - Index file /usr/local/share/gnats/helpdesk/gnats-adm/index contains 
incorrect number of fields 

After setting binary-index to "false" and rerunning gen-index, things worked as 
they should.

In short, gen-index currently does not work with binary indexes.
