xindice_rebuild - file size vastly multiplied

Ran xindice_rebuild on a smallish existing 1.0 database to get it into  1.1
format.
The size was expanded enormously:
db 1.0: 2 M
db 1.1: 233 M

That is a factor of 100 ;-(

I have not dared do this on my real 1.0 database, which now occupies more
than 1G of disk space.

*Question*:
 - Is this a feature or a bug?

Tool info as presented:
$ xindice -h
trying to register database

Xindice Command Tools v1.1

...etc...
