Re: [Sks-devel] trust packets hose SKS dbs?

[Yaron Minsky]

What is the nature of the hosing?  This is a tad sketchy for me to
figure out what the problem is.

This probably isn't an issue, but note that "sks merge" does access
the database directly, so if you don't shut down "sks db" before
running "sks merge", all bets are off.
