At the end of import you should be telling the hyperdb what the next  
id sequence is and then it can allocate new ids correctly. You must  
definitely NOT start allocating at lower number - it'll then  
eventually reallocate the ids already used. The API call to do this is:

    self.db.setid(classname, str(maxid+1))
