[IndexedCatalog] index corruption -- still

Hey guys -- well the bad news is even after we have 'solved' the problem
of using regular python lists as the index data store, I am still seeing
index corruption. I am alsways seeing this in unindex_item -- the data
just seems to go missing. In order to get our software running
semi-stable, I put a try, exclude KeyError: around the code in
unindex_item. I am not thrilled with this -- but at least things will go
on working for now.
Would it be possible to use tuples OOSets instead of Lists there, or is
there somewhere in the code that depends on it being a python list. It
seems to me that OOSets should work, as they emulate a python list
pretty well.

Thoughts?
Nic
