(I don't think you want "-p" here, BTW...)

This is a good thing to check, but you need to look at termlist_DB, not
termlist_baseA.  There may not be a _baseA at all (if _baseB holds the
only valid revision), and the base files are only opened very briefly
while opening the database.  It's the _DB which is held open while the
database is.

That's for quartz - for flint, check termlist.DB instead of termlist_DB.

Cheers,
