The number of slashes is unimportant. If you're sceptical, you can try
`ls /////usr/////////bin//vi` from the command line. The number of
slashes is insignificant on every system I use (various Linux, SunOS, and
Solaris boxen).
Either add a poll file to lib/text/polls/index or change index_boot() to
not care if there are no polls by finding the code that reads:
/* Exit if 0 records, unless this is shops */
if (!rec_count) {
if (mode == DB_BOOT_SHP)
return;
and changing the line with DB_BOOT_SHP in it to read
if (mode == DB_BOOT_SHP || mode == DB_BOOT_POLLS)
