I do the deletes with a perl script, so I'll have to add code to keep the other files in sync.  Not a problem.  Happily, I noticed that listserv fixes the .dbindex/.dbnames files are this search error, so it works properly the next time the user tries it.  It does not delete the .ind files that don't have matching .log files, but since they aren't referenced in the .db files they do not cause a problem.
