Hi everyone!

Yes - we managed to get this solved on the irc channel. For some reason, 
rebuilding the zebra index with the -x switch does the trick for us. 
(And we've now made sure that the periodical zebra re-indexing cron job 
runs with -x too!).

There was some discussion on irc that this was possibly caused by there 
not being any /any/ index in zebra - perhaps as a result of 
capitalisation issues in the config file. Regardless, -x does the job 
/just fine!

Nick
