Latent bug in the new tradindexed code?

I've a different problem I'm trying to get to the bottom of, but I
came across this en-route - I think the new tradindexed code is
breaking the assertion its making wrt OVSTATICSEARCH.

AFAICT returning false from OVctl(OVSTATICSEARCH,...) says that the
buffers you are returning are constant up until OVclosesearch(), but
the new tradindexed code can remap the data file which would break
this assertion.

I think it should probably set OVSTATICSEARCH to true, but actually
I'd really like to just remove OVSTATICSEARCH, rip out the whole mess
which surrounds it in article.c, since I'm really not convinced that
much complexity is worth saving a copy.
