in reply to Unexpected and uncatchable database corruption errors using DBD::SQLite & Parallel::ForkManager

I don't know if this applies to SQLite, but many database systems have a problem if you fork after connecting; In this case, forking first and then connecting to the database (or if that's not an option, reconnect in the child process after fork) is the proper solution.
