The latest sqlite3_close(sqlite3*) documentation states:

Applications should finalize all prepared statements and close all  
BLOB handles associated with the sqlite3 object prior to attempting to  
close the object. The sqlite3_next_stmt() interface can be used to  
locate all prepared statements associated with a database connection  
if desired. Typical code might look like this:

sqlite3_stmt *pStmt;
while( (pStmt = sqlite3_next_stmt(db, 0))!=0 ){
     sqlite3_finalize(pStmt);
}
This is dangerous and does NOT always work!
Actually, this causes a terrible bug in the RTree module: the rtree  
module stores dynamically 9 prepared statement (see rtreeSqlInit). If  
now all prepared statements are closed before sqlite3_close is called  
these statements are also finalized.
Now, sqlite3_close is called. This call also terminates the rtree  
module. But this module does not know that the prepared and stored  
statements (pointers to the previously prepared statements) have  
already been finalized and do not exist anymore. So, it tries to clean  
up the not anymore existing part again and crashes!

Any workarounds are welcome!!
