+\r
+Thanks David. Impossible? - yes, but if I do just the open in two\r
+interactive sessions (the Tcl interface makes this easy), I get the\r
+following from "lsof flintlock":\r
+\r
+COMMAND   PID USER   FD   TYPE DEVICE SIZE/OFF   NODE NAME\r
+cat     21408 eric    5w   REG    8,9        0 667773 flintlock\r
+cat     21418 eric    5w   REG    8,9        0 667773 flintlock\r
+\r
+So, open for writing, but not locked (the processes have the right\r
+parents).\r
+\r
+I managed to catch a run of "notmuch new" with "lsof -r5 flintlock":\r
+\r
+COMMAND   PID USER   FD   TYPE DEVICE SIZE/OFF   NODE NAME\r
+cat     20763 eric    3ww  REG    8,9        0 667773 flintlock\r
+\r
+which is open for writing and (partially) locked, so it must be doing\r
+something that I'm not. I obviously need to go carefully through the\r
+code to see what that is (and experiment in C if I can't find it!).\r
+\r
+I don't have the _verbose functions BTW, still on 0.18.1 - I thought I\r
+would get a proof-of-concept before upgrading notmuch, but...\r
+\r
+Thanks again,\r
