 Hello,

 We can store terms with a maximum length of 245 bytes. But visibly, if a
 term contains '\0', they are counted 2 times.

 I don't know if the problem is due to the xapian binding (python) or to
 the xapian core.

 This small snippet of python can reproduce the problem:


 {{{
 from xapian import WritableDatabase, DB_CREATE, Document
 db = WritableDatabase('test_db', DB_CREATE)
 doc = Document()
 doc.add_posting('\x00' * 200, 1)
 db.add_document(doc)
 db.flush()
 }}}


 With an other character '\x01' or \x02', ... this code works without
 problem.

 Thank you by advance for your answer.
 D. Versmisse.
