Interesting.  Is this a bug in Xapian?  According to the docs,
~Database is supposed to close the database (if there are no other
copies, which there shouldn't be), so this should be redundant with
the delete notmuch->xapian_db a few lines down, but your experience
obviously suggests that it isn't and I can't find the code path in
Xapian that would close it in the destructor.

Olly?
