Thanks Tim!

I have a better grasp on the situation now, but confusion still reigns... I
don't understand how PyObject_SetItem (a python/C API) can increase the size
of an IIBucket (which usually uses 'Bucket_grow' from BucketTemplate.c), but
I will take it on faith that it magically works somehow, so that I can
continue my search for the performance problem with ZCTextIndex!

Thanks again,

Jonathan
