+- (3.8.1) FileStorages previously saved indexes after a certain
   number of writes.  This was done during the last phase of two-phase
   commit, which made this critical phase more subject to errors than
   it should have been.  Also, for large databases, saves were done so
   infrequently as to be useless.  The feature was removed to reduce
   the chance for errors during the last phase of two-phase commit.

   transaction id mapping as an optimization. This mapping caused
