I'm using H2 JAR 1.4.191. Database URL is jdbc:h2:file:<file path>
;DB_CLOSE_ON_EXIT=FALSE;MV_STORE=false;LOCK_TIMEOUT=10000;MVCC=true

The database has a table with two columns: ID (BIGINT) and DATA (CLOB). I 
wrote a script to repeatedly add and delete rows from that table. After 
leaving it running for awhile, the database size grew to ~450MB. Eventually 
it shrunk to about ~413MB, and it won't seem to compact smaller. The 
database is practically empty except with a handful of entries in other 
tables and 1 row in that LOB table.  

Running the Recover tool yielded the following stats:

---- Statistics ----
-- page count: 101030, free: 0
-- page data bytes: head 17407521, empty 187330865, rows 36487342 (23% full)
-- data leaf 58%, 58893 page(s)
-- data node 0%, 222 page(s)
-- data overflow 0%, 24 page(s)
-- btree leaf 40%, 41258 page(s)
-- btree node 0%, 303 page(s)
-- free list 0%, 4 page(s)
-- stream data 0%, 323 page(s)

Why is the space not getting reclaimed?
