Subject: Re: horribly impossible debugging task

Just had one other suggestion (hopefully more useful than the last :-)

Could you seperate out the db-related code into a little 'proxy' app, to 
run on the same machine as where the db files are, and have your clients 
connect to it (to read the job, submit the pid etc) ?  It might help 
solve any potential locking hassles (if that's even the problem), since 
the only thing touching the database would be local.  And hey, if 
nothing else, it could be interesting to find out which side of the code 
coredumps :-)

Cheers,
  Kevin
