This is not completely true. The file is _supposed_ to grow, assuming nothing
gets out of control, which is not entirely impossible. Just several patches ago
the was a problem with truncated index.

Again, another patch was for exactly this situation - Xindice didn't handle
several threads correctly, the file got complete junk in it - causing anything
from BTreeCorruptException to StackOverflowError. That problem is fixed, but
there may be something else (I hope not).

Anyway, on more positive side - I don't really think everything is that bad,
unless there are reports about file corruption I don't see a need for really
complex tool.
