Nuts, I was hoping you would post a magic 100% up-to-date pure python
source.  I don't need metakit's speed (I have millions of small files
of which only a few are updated a second) but the coredumps give me the 
willies.  (the coredumps only happen in long running python processes 
and only during garbage collection, the data all seems to survive).

Take that with a grain of salt, the dumps aren't enough of a problem
that I've rewritten the python wrappers or stopped using metakit.
