Comment:

 Your initial attempt to fix this (by adding db.close()) should work in
 theory, but I believe I've found the reason that it doesn't: db.close()
 causes the main process to close all its files, but the lock subprocess is
 still holding the "db_test_postingsource2/flintlock" file open.

 I've verified that this is what happens under unix anyway (by causing the
 test to sleep just before the shutil.rmtree() call, and inspecting the
 open files with "lsof").

 The fix should be fairly simple - I'll have a quick go at it.
