[Bug 985452] [NEW] apt-ftparchive fails on scanning large repositories

[Adam Conrad]

Public bug reported:

See, for instance, the build log at:

http://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-archive/livefs-build-logs/precise
/ubuntu-server-omap4/20120419/livecd-20120419-armhf.out

grep for "Failed to create"

This is also reproducible locally with a sufficiently large collection
of debs (over 1015ish, it seems like)
