Me, too, but it seems to me that there's a better way to find the 
problem than trying to replicate the problem reporters' exact 
environment.  That's too complicated.  The leading hypothesis explaining 
the problem is that there's a file locking problem between two programs 
both trying to access the same set of SQLite DB files.  So, write two 
programs to do exactly that, and see if they will fight over the DB file 
or not.

If they cooperate, as the SQLite FAQ says they should, then we're off in 
the weeds and someone needs to come up with a better hypothesis.

If they fight, you then have two simple programs that, together, 
demonstrate the problem, which means you're much closer to finding a 
real fix that makes both sets of users happy.

Take advantage of the fact that I'm a disinterested Cygwin package 
maintainer.  You have some time to play with here.
