fossil is deadlocked while dumping to venti. it still does its job but
no new files can be opened, consequently nothing works except the
programs that are already started.

give it enough time and it'll release the deadlock. i've left it
overnight for big dumps and it has taken up to 12 hours to have a
useable system before, for something like 10+ gigs.
