It is for RForum. You can see the the code here:
http://rforum.andreas-s.net/trac/file/trunk/app/models/search_ferret.rb

My indexing script simply fetches all the posts from the database and 
calls Post.search_handler.update(post) for each one. If another process 
calls the update method while this script is running, I am getting the 
exception. If you need more information to reproduce the problem, please 
let me know.

I didn't know there was a list. I will definetely join it.

Thanks for fixing the other bugs so quickly.
