Databases losing data

Hi Ruslan,

I'm getting occasional reports of lost records. Not a lot, but enough 
to be sure that this is a bug in V2. Here's the latest one:

"I just opened my database and found that 400-500 records were 
completely blank, all that was left was the unique ID, everything 
else was gone... I tried to re-index and rebuild the database but 
that just crashed.  I really don't know what might have caused this, 
I closed the program when I left work yesterday and today it opened 
like this. I did perform some global find/replace actions yesterday, 
that's the only thing I can think of really."

Another person found that one day when he opened the database one of 
the fields was suddenly empty in about 50 records

These are VText fields, BTW, indexedbywords. The unique ID field the 
user refers to above is a long.

Ruslan, I asked him to send me that db, and if he does I'll send it 
to you. I can't file this on Mantis, because I don't know how to 
reproduce. But I wanted to let you know that there is a rather 
serious bug that can cause data to be lost without any crash or other 
problem beforehand.

Jon
