FIX: The CeSeekDatabase function may not find matching records when a CEDB database contains more that 15,750 records on a Microsoft Windows CE .NET 4.2-based device

When a CEDB database contains more than 15,750 records on a Microsoft Windows CE .NET 4.2-based device, the CeSeekDatabase function may not find matching records.

This problem occurs because record number 15,751 is added to the CEDB database. When this record is inserted, an index block that contains 125 records is dropped from the index tree.
