Last, first name index has been working fine, with over 6,000 entries. Now
suddenly the last name of Burrill has listed two first names, followed by
about 20 other occurrences of Burrill with a single first name. (Instead of
last name Burrill with 22 last names listed.) Only the Burrill last name is
fouled up in the Index?

I encountered this problem in a genealogy book some years back (in my case,
the family name was "Link," and there were dozens of them). There was
absolutely no logical explanation; the XE fields were perfectly well formed,
and deleting and reinserting them did not help. I wasted a lot of time
spinning my wheels and never did find a solution. In the end, I just had to
handle the problem manually: after editing was complete and I knew the index
wouldn't change, I unlinked it and fixed the errant entries (and also tidied
up other issues such as bad column breaks).
