--- Comment #4 from Michael Stahl <[email protected]> ---
this bug is about the size of pages in DBase index (.ndx) files.

if you put the right terms into google you can find DBase III
file format documentation that seems to indicate that at least
for older versions of DBase the page size is indeed fixed at 512 bytes:

http://www.piclist.com/techref/language/dbase/ndxs.htm
"A dBASE NDX file consists of a header block followed by B-tree root, branch.
and leaf blocks. The block size is fixed at 512 bytes."

https://www.cs.cmu.edu/~varun/cs315p/xbase.txt
"The Structure of Index files (.ndx)
 [...]
   The size of a page is ( as far as I know ) always 512 bytes."

perhaps it would be faster to use a different page size, but
it looks like it would impede interoperability with other
DBase applications.
