I have to reassess my program completely.  Damian Yerrick
<Bullcr_pd_yerrick AT hotmail DOT comRemoveBullcr_p> suggested a recursive problem
(though increasing the stack size didn't seem to help), but I decided to
replace an internal binary search with a linear search.

A bug appears but only after deleting several 100 (ie maybe 1000 attempts);
with the above change the fatal crash went away and a cross link within a file
page was created.  I'll add code to detect such a cross-link and narrow the
test scenario down a bit more.

Thanks.
April
