The BTrees tests are prone to many intermittent failures.  They also
leak memory if you run them in a loop.

The most frequent error I see is in ConflictResolution.  I long ago
gave up trying to get someone to fix these errors.  I hope that one
day I'll be able to understand the code and then fix them myself.
Since no one seemed interested in the failures, I assumed no one else
would be willing to fix them.
