How do dead records get into a tdb file?

[Richard Sharpe]

Hi folks,

We recently saw a tdb file get very large:

tdb> info
Size of file/data: 2785345536/3293549
Number of records: 99
Smallest/average/largest keys: 9/9/10
Smallest/average/largest data: 72/33258/2616464
Smallest/average/largest padding: 30/5374/367322
Number of dead records: 1 ---> only one dead record
Smallest/average/largest dead records: 2718339048/2718339048/2718339048 -->

That dead record is a concern.
