hi! while I cannot confirm that this patch solves the stated issue (cannot reproduce), It seeminly doesn't break things either and I'm all in favour of doing things right?.
On a related note: It also doesn't fix the recent segfaults of the bindings that occur when you try to write to a locked database. cf "id:4eddf2b1.4288980a.0b74.5557 at mx.google.com" hth, /p
