Hi,

I have some news on this. The main problem is a bug in the b-tree
index code that speeds up updates. There is a 'kill switch' for this
feature, you can disable it if you append ";optimize_update=false" to
the database URL. The test does no longer fail if I did this. There is
another problem I want to solve as well: when running this test case,
the b-tree pages are split at the wrong position, so that the database
is much larger than needed.

Both problems only occur when using an index on variable size data, if
the data to be indexed is very big (larger than 1 KB).

I will fix both problems this weekend and will release a new version.
But first I want to create a better test case to make sure this will
not break in the future.

Regards,
Thomas
