	I have a program that uses Unify's B-Tree search (btsrch) to
access a large file.  Initially, the B-tree index was defined globally.
I found that every time the file was accessed, the size of the program
grew by large amounts.  Once I defined the B-Tree index inside a function
I found that this was not a problem. However, the program does seem to grow
by small amounts for each access. I've tried freeing the the B-Tree data
as follows:
	if (filebts != BTIDNUL)
	    free (filebts);
	But, this seems to have no effect.
	My question is: How can I keep my program from growing every time
a file is accessed with a B-Tree index?
