I wonder how many users are affected by this now.

It's not called out currently in CHANGES.txt but I think it should be
(this would be under LUCENE-672 I think)?  Is there a simple way to
characterize the cases when this would happen?

If the number of buffered docs at the close plus the number of docs in
the last non-ram segment was greater than mergeFactor, then a new
segment would be created.

Still doesn't roll off the toungue nicely, but I agree an update to
CHANGES calling this out might be in order.

OK, super, thanks!  I will update CHANGES.txt to call this out.

I will also attempt to catch up on that thread (and all the related
ones)!  I remember at the time thinking "if only I could understand
what they are talking about..."  :)

I think this issue (well, its fix really) is also [a bit] more
pressure for a 2.1 release sooner rather than later...
