I am sorry I won't able to share the complete program. Also it is quite some work to extract that piece alone.
*Some good news. As a last resort I downloaded latest sqlite source, compiled and ran the tests. It never failed. The problem seems **to be fixed in 3.7.6.3.* But I am still curious to know the root cause in 3.7.0.1. Are there things which should be taken care by the applications while doing BULK inserts and concurrent SELECT/INSERTS/UPDATES to avoid such 'errors' from sqlite3 ?
