What you might have is a malformed dictd dictionary. For example, this dictd version of GCIDE isn't valid: the headwords contain uppercase and non-alphanumeric characters, but 00-database-allchars and 00-database-case-sensitive are missing from the index. Some of the headwords are quite surprising too: abounding inpredicate abounding withpredicate bristling withpredicate full ofpredicate overflowing overflowing withpredicate rich inpredicate rife withpredicate thick withpredicate (here's one of the synonyms: brimful brimful ofpredicate brimfull brimfull ofpredicate brimming brimming withpredicate).

I've written a tool, sdunpack, that can be used to convert from StarDict to dictd (your package manager should provide a dictd (or dict) package that ships dictfmt and dictzip).
