Hi, moving this here from the later comments in #1276.
a G_fatal_error() while a db_driver is open, such as you get when you typo
the name of an attribute column, does not close the db driver, which is
left behind as a zombie process (along with a dependent cmd.exe). This is
a problem as the db driver may be holding a file open, blocking anything
else from working on it or removing it.
db_close_database_shutdown_driver() seems to shut it down properly.
work-around: ctrl-alt-del to the task manager and kill any dbf.exe
processes. the cmd.exe ones will then go away.

A few DBMI related backports have happened over the past few days,
still an issue? How to test it?
