My app uses the false setting and has not broken in 3.1.  The only problem that I
have had on all OS versions (and others have discussed it in this forum), is that
if you delete a database in the middle of a search, it does not always handle it
properly.  This will show up as an error intermittently.  In this case you need
to start the search over.
