Fixes SF bug # 778421

 * Fixed a bug in the compatibility interface set_location() method
   where it would not properly search to the next nearest key when
   used on BTree databases.  [SF bug id 788421]
 * Fixed a bug in the compatibility interface set_location() method
   where it could crash when looking up keys in a hash or recno
   format database due to an incorrect free().
