Based on the characteristics of the crash I'd say that there is a race
somewhere and the debug output serializes things enough for this not to
become a problem. It didn't even appreciably slow down the creation of
the database from what I could tell. NB: I was testing on a quad-core
w/ SSD, but the mandatory virus scanner inserts itself on each file
operation of course.

Achim.
