Probably at the point where we are doing a rather large SELECT, and SQLite not allowing Evolution's sqlite3_open itself to interfere with our process' SELECT until it's finished. Or something like that. Maybe because Evolution uses large transactions, just like we do for our non-Evolution database stuff, to increase their performance? ie. while we are in SELECT is Evolution's TRANSACTION waiting for us to be finished. > > It is only recently that I found that tracker-indexer is guilty.

I think it's caused by use of large transactions in Evolution vs. a large SELECT in Tracker on the same database. > There might be some issues here.
