Drat, I missed the call to _doSave(), and my search for store() didn't find
anything because it's in UserInterface.py, not ProxyUI.py.

BTW, what happens if the browser is closed in the middle of a train?  Does
the onReview code still complete (and therefore save), or does it get
interrupted?

Looks like it's back to some other cause of the RunRecovery errors, then.
That you're able to do 250,000 messages without one, though, suggests that
it's not something that 'just happens' as part of regular bsddb usage
(unless it's something that happens every x days, or something hideous like
that).

Hopefully someone else can provoke the hammer.py script to fail; I'm out of
ideas.
