I will have to look into that; so far everything works as expected,
though I think I will write a test to make sure that the data in the
btree db file is exactly the same as the data in the text file.

A bridge I will burn when I get to it. :^) Probably not a serious
problem, since the db file is recreated whole when the text file is
changed. I can force a rebuild of the db file simply by deleting
it. What I can't do is get the admins to install a new Berkeley db
library without more stick than I currently have.
