That may be (although that's not what I've seen with other 
databases). But the point here is that I had to increase the segment 
size to 1024 to avoid a VException -- that's what's increasing the db 
size. Since the vast majority of the data I'm storing is well under 
512 bytes, I can live with 512 segments if V2.0 will let me (1.x did, 
as I said).
