[Koha] Zebra not updating biblios automatically in koha 3.8

Doug,

Make sure when you are using cron jobs that you set the environment

recipe for confusion and misery down the road. However, this is -- as you
say -- not the problem.

Did you change your bibliographic frameworks? It could be a matter of the
biblionumber not being stored properly. The other thing to do is to confirm
that the non-indexed biblios are *actually* getting added to the zebraqueue
by the 6566 script. It's kind of a long shot, but it could be an issue with
the zebraqueue table getting corrupted. I've seen this happen when the
zebraqueue table got too large, and disk space was low.

Regards,
Jared
