I wanted to be on the safe side, and eventually look through the code 
again for possible problems.

I think what you did is safe, since you moved the call from 
process_entry() to its sole caller, merge_trees().

However, I was wondering if the index has to be written at all. 
I expect the written index (except the last one, of course) to have no 
user...

Ciao,
