It seems this has cropped up before - see Michael Salib's point "2."<br>here:<br><br><a href="http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.search.xapian.general/1387">http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.search.xapian.general/1387

while the process keeps running which could still be a problem.<br><br>Cheers,<br> Olly<br></blockquote></div><br>thanks for the hint about using Flint instead.<br>I thought I was but I guess I didn't add it to my .profile
<br><br>using Flint it starts and stops and doesn't cause any problems now.<br><br>a .close() method on WritableDatabase might be a good addition. <br>Just so you can force the db closed when you think it might not be being de-referenced reliably.
<br><br>It seems to be the same type of issue listed in that link you posted. Twisted is probably holding on to the Service object<br>and that is holding on to the db object.<br><br>I KNOW I am not sharing db objects nor document objects since it is all single threaded and all self contained in that one index method.
