[Xapian-discuss] Twisted + Xapian WriteableDatabase leaves db_lock file on exit.

[Olly Betts]

It seems this has cropped up before - see Michael Salib's point "2."
here:

I've not yet implemented WritableDatabase::close() though.

Incidentally, the stale lockfile on exit issue goes away if you use
flint instead of quartz, though the database lock will still be held
while the process keeps running which could still be a problem.

Cheers,
