I shouldn't have used the word "certain". :)  It's really a limit on  
the number of buckets in the file-storage index BTree. The number of  
buckets is related to the number of objects, but as buckets become  
sparse, there can be more buckets per objects.

The bottom line is that I need to fix save_index so this isn't a  
problem, at any size.
