Comment(by mrks):

 > Do we know what the reader is doing when the error occurs?

 The exception occurs during my (perl-API) get_mset() call.

 > One possibility that occurred to me is that the reopen() call itself is
 throwing the error.

 Not in my code anyway. My (perl-API) reopen() returns before the exception
 gets thrown.

 I wrapped my calls and logged as follows:

 {{{
 (6223) reopen() begin
 (6223) reopen() end
 (6223) get_mset() begin
 (6223) get_mset() end
 (6223) reopen() begin
 (6223) reopen() end
 (6223) get_mset() begin
 (6223) Xapian::DatabaseModifiedError: in set_overwritten    # <- this line
 comes from my patched xapian lib
 terminate called after throwing an instance of
 'Xapian::DatabaseModifiedError'
 }}}

 (The number in brackets is the PID of the process, to be sure that nothing
 gets mixed up.)
