Yes, I wasnt entirely comfortable with the content of that test.... This is 
one area that several storages have had bugs in the past, so Im sure *some* 
test is valuable.

Originally I wrote the test so that it would also succeed if the huge note 
could be read back from the storage correctly.... perhaps that was better.

Thats an option. I'm certainly not going to suggest crippling BDBStorage just 
to simplify the storage API definition ;-)
