Weird - the backtrace makes it look like the process has died in the
middle of a call to zlib, so I can't see how it could return the error
to Python before dumping core.

No (assuming you mean the Xapian Database).  You can't have any Xapian
objects accessed concurrently, including the Database objects (or any
objects derived from them, like iterator objects, since those will
access the Database internally).
