Hi, thanks for the patch and sorry for the delay.

Do you have a way to reliably reproduce this? update-a-x-i has its own
locking system around xapian, which seems to be failing in this case.

The locking strategy of u-a-x-i is would be attach to an already running
indexer instead of raising an error, so before applying this patch I'd
like to see if there isn't something else to fix instead.


Ciao,

Enrico
