Re: [RFT] new store-file approach

I am +1 for this patch.

I have tested it with high loads (at the edge and even above its capacity)
on a SuSE 9.1 system. As I pointed out some months ago, the old version
suffered serious problems when the number of entries in store exeeded some
thousands.
The patch solves this problem in our test environment.
