Well this looks impressive.

I've also read this: http://www.sqlite.org/lockingv3.html#how_to_corrupt
The key question is, what corrupt means here; and I don't really know
[unable to open or just inconsistent, but it can be rollbacked easily].
In other words a wrong/missing bit (for simplicity: caused by a very
rare hw failure) could corrupt the db to an unusable state (cannot
open, cannot rollback) or not?
