Hi,

I can reproduce the failure (monotone unit test 235) on a Debian testing
after installing the latest sqlite from unstable (3.7). From what is
looks like, the new version of sqlite isn't producing a journal file. At
least, I've tried killing mtn halfway through a sync and haven't managed
to find one.
