I haven't been following the list recently, but I hope it's related to
Arjen's problem.

This will be awesome!  I wish I could re-produce it here, but there's just
no way.

In the mean time, do you think it would be safe to move to a "delete, then
add" approach?  I seriously doubt I'll run the doc id numberspace out
anytime soon.  This will cause big headaches for our code, but we've got to
get around this issue somehow...
