Outside Xapian, if you're using apache you could make your web server
child processes recycle faster using MaxRequestsPerChild. File handles
should be released cleanly on process exit. (Dropping
MaxRequestsPerChild does reduce your scalability, though - if someone
can offer a 'correct' solution that deals with the Xapian issue, this
is preferred.)
