Big, BIG databases.

Every now and again I get events database corruption. Deleting it
fixes everything up, but it's a worry.

My weblog.data file is currentyly 119,029,070 bytes in size. That
strikes me as just crazy: there's only a couple thousand posts, and
they're not 64K each. I've tried the alleged Metakit database
verification tool, and can't get it to visibly do anything. So, I'm
kinda worried.

Anyone know anything reassuring? 

Regards,
Garth.
