You're indexing into the database while trying to run quartzcompact on
it.

You're indexing into the database quite aggressively while running
queries against it.

There are a couple of solutions, one being to index to one db then
copy to the one you index (perhaps via a quartzcompact mechanism).

In the future, flint (I believe) will get round this problem more
neatly.
