I was relying on definitions like this:

  B*-tree

  (data structure)

  Definition: A B-tree in which nodes are kept 2/3 full by redistributing
  keys to fill two child nodes, then splitting them into three nodes.

To tell the truth, I haven't read your code that closely, sorry, but I got
the impression that you're doing rotations for balancing no? If not then
have you really got a b*tree?
