This happens when 2 clients access the BullDB simultaneously.

There isn't a good fix, unfortunately. The DB needs to be opened
read/write in order to mark the last-read bulletin for each user as the
pull down messages.

Doubtless you'll find that the message happens more often after you
update a bulletin. I did.

The only workaround is to not use Bulletin databases, but that leaves
files in user directrories which some may erase.
