I will also do what I can to help, if anyone wants it. Also, is there a repository anywhere? It's not documented in the source or anywhere that I can find.. I usually find it easier submit patches if there's a repository involved. - There are some obvious patches and minor tweaks involving threading that can fix support on Win32. Notably the CLONE method doesn't work on a win32 fork, so a workaround would be to store the threadid along with the handle and compare to the current thread id to see if a clone is needed. (I posted an patch that simply disables testing for cloning on win32, which would probably satisfy 60% of the win32 users at the outset.) - Solaris and Win32 both have problems where the DBD xsi file creation line isn't included in the Makefile. **I think this is a DBI issue... since the code for that is part of DBI's driver implementation, but I haven't actally traced it to the line that is failing to see why. I can do that if anyone wants me too, but my bet is that the DBI devs know about it already, or could take one look at SQLite's Makefile.PL and tell me why it fails or what a good workaround is. Mostly, I'm not too concerned with a lot of the "my system locks up" bugs, as my guess is they are issues that will be addressed in new versions SQLite's, and they are common to embedded databases that run on a mixed-bag of operating systems. But compatibility = usage = support, and that's my primary concern.
