Fix nilmdb-fsck issue caused by 022b50950f

The default bisect module includes a fast C implementation, which
requires that array indices fit within the system "long" type.  For
32-bit systems, that's not acceptable, as the table indices for raw
data can exceed 2^32 very quickly.  A pure python version works fine.
