The embedded engine, like SuperServer, opens the file in a mode
that allows additional readers, but not additional writers. Hmmm.
The logic in the attach does not allow a read-only attachment to
a database declared as read-write. If it did, the attachment
combination the original writer wanted (one writer, additional
reader) could be made to work...

Anyway, the point is that you can't accidentally BORK a database
by attaching to it with two different servers.
