now that we can close the connection, this should be fixable and we could also cleanup and sync a bit test headers

no, probably not.  On windows, at least, you'll still hit this regardless of the ability to close the db connection.

that's strange because iirc we remove places.sqlite in some browser xpcshell tests, worth give it a try

Bug 451915 - move Firefox/Places bugs to Firefox/Bookmarks and History. Remove all bugspam from this move by filtering for the string "places-to-b-and-h".

In Thunderbird 3.0b, you do that as follows:
Tools | Message Filters
Make sure the correct account is selected. Click "New"
Conditions: Body   contains   places-to-b-and-h
Change the action to "Delete Message".
Select "Manually Run" from the dropdown at the top.
Click OK.

Select the filter in the list, make sure "Inbox" is selected at the bottom, and click "Run Now". This should delete all the bugspam. You can then delete the filter.

currently we do remove places.sqlite after each test run, thanks to a cleaner shutdown code.
