Bug https://www.sqlite.org/src/info/7d7525cb01b68 was exceptionally
severe in that it created incompatible database files.  For this one
case, I took extra precautions to try to prevent the affected versions
of SQLite from getting into wide-spread circulation.  Disabling the
downloads is an unusual step that is applied to this one bug and which
I will hopefully never need to do again.
