At the end, when it does the 'select'. The App.db object issues a
begin-transaction at the time of the select, and SQLite complained that the
DB was already locked (by the TableDM's db connection).
My tests were run on Windows, though, so maybe I had different semantics in
effect than for your test. Anyway, once I changed the TableDM to Obtain()
the shared db connection, the locking error went away.
