My theory for the daemonized version went like this:
- daemon locks the DB file .idata with lockf.  (Is there a reason that's
  non-reliable that I should use an independent lock file instead?)
- daemon creates a unix-domain-socket .idata.socket
- daemon kills itself after 10 seconds of non-use soas not to keep
  the file unavailable to ifiles run on other machines.
- a client which runs and finds no daemon starts a daemon.

All that said, I think I'm out of cycles for this project for awhile.
