I was thinking this should probably just be

try {
  notmuch->xapian_db->reopen ();
} catch ...

(indented correctly, of course).  Reopen is a method of
Xapian::Database, which is what notmuch->xapian_db is anyway (unlike,
flush, which is a member of the subclass WritableDatabase and hence
requires the cast).  And reopening is a sensible thing to do on both
read-only and read/write databases.

Also, in keeping with notmuch code style, you should use tabs for
indentation and put a space before the open paren argument lists.
